That's what it looks like through the filter of a bigot. This is closer to reality:
1. People that express a non-hateful opinion based on a traditional, mainstream Christian viewpoint shouldn't be considered haters. You know, there's a difference between saying something is sinful and saying you hate the sinner.
2. People who speak out on controversial political topics against their bosses wishes and to the perceived detriment of their employer should understand that there may be consequences, including potential termination.
