What Kluwe is alleging is harassment by an employer because of his opinions on a human rights issue. Whether its true or not, it IS a legal issue, because in America, discriminatory language by your employer is not allowed.
Again - this situation is completely different than Phil Robertson, who's rights were not violated.

Wrong.
Both employers have every right to reprimand the employees for outside of work related incidents.
Whether you are a bigot or an anti-bigot, your employer can fire your ass for ANYTHING not protected under federal law/state law or contractually. (Contract/union etc) Talking shit about ANYTHING in the media, is not a protected status by the feds.
So yea, it might have been a dick move, but it is EXACTLY the same as Phil Robertson.
