Driver who refused to work pride bus fired

actually I am opposed to hate

- - - Updated - - -

you are exaggerating

 

Hate as defined by the PC movement, which can just about be anything.

 

not really, hate is hate

 

Sure it is, to the point of progressives becoming the thought police.

 

Care to back that statement up, rather than just saying what amounts to, "nut uh?"

Hey, look at that, more 'tolerance' on display.

How insane is it that this guy lost his job?

 

Only thing I can say is..........
If your panties get in a bunch about "gay pride" (or anti/pro gun/abortion.....etc), then do NOT work in the public sector of the work force.

Hint: My money is green (sometimes silver/copper when broke). My money is asexual. My money has no race, sex, creed.....etc. It just does NOT care what you want to do in your bedroom/living room/on the washing machine. It allows me to have a better life!
In other words.......get over yourself and do YOUR job (or go live under a bridge).....

 

what you really mean is sane people pointing out a foible.

 

You think your money is yours but not all of it is. You work for government too so whatever government does is an extension of your labor. Advertising controversial things using your labor to do it will eventually make enemies of someone and cause problems. In this case, government is picking winners and losers. In this case you agree with government use of force, but what happens when you don't?

 

Calgary Transit, who runs the bus service, is a department of the City of Calgary. And I see nothing wrong with the government encouraging tolerance and acceptance of differences whether they be orientation, gender or racial. It's simply encouraging tolerance and giving others a voice.

I'd prefer to live in a country where tolerance is the norm than a place where intolerance is considered some sort of badge of honour.

 

Unless, of course, if the opinion of others is not your opinion, then by all means, destroy their livelihood.

 

Reverse the circumstances of this story. Imagine if a public busing company covered it's bus in pro hetero images or slogans, then someone of the LGBTQITHEUNBDJNDFGINE community gets fired...

 

The right to free speech doesn't extend into the workplace. He was fired for a bunch of reasons, all listed in the article. If you're going to publicly call out your employer, even if it's the government, you can expect to lose your job. Especially if you're still on probation.

 

"You think your money is yours but not all of it is."
Foolish statement, considering I have been in the workforce for more than 45 (YES.....45) years. You just waking up to the world of taxes? Let me tell you how it was 30 years ago when 1/3 of my income went to taxes in the great state of California (AND that was NOT including sales/property.....etc taxes). I've woke up.....your turn!
"In this case you agree with government use of force, but what happens when you don't?"
Welp, I live in America. The lan of the free......etc. Given that I do have "freedom", I quit my job and go to another one that is privately owned or start my own business. See how that "freedom" works.......<I doubt you do considering you want to change the PUBLIC sector employment towards your "feeling". HMMM.........YOUR feelings. Are you gay? (legitimate question considering you want to change things to your feelings)>
Bahahahahaha....baha

 

I read the link.

LOL, this guys looking at whatsername in Kentuckys gofundme account and hoping to cash in. He was specifically told he would not be driving the bus, but somehow felt compelled to make a public statement about quitting if forced?

There's one born every minute, and never give one an even break.

 

I have been in the workforce just as long so bragging means nothing. The only thing government is, is force. It has the monopoly on it. Progressive ideology using government force has changed government from it's original intent to social engineering so you work for that social engineering now instead of original intent. You better like it because if the social engineering doesn't go your way, your freedoms will be limited.

 

This guy is going to become a professional victim. He'll lose job after job for misbehavior and inability to socialize and will blame everyone else for his plight. Eventually he'll be on this forum posting rants about the 'gay mafia', whatever that is.

 

whatever the government does is with the peoples permission, civics 101

 

Deviant sexual behavior that represents less than 1% of the population is not the same as a nationally recognized holiday.

This is a stunt of liberalism designed to choke people with agenda and cause conflict so the whole "homo persecution" scam can continue.

If the concept behind government not being involved with things like displaying a confederate flag or putting up a nativity scene at Christmas was one of with an intent for neutrality then the same would apply to homo propaganda would it not?

But to a liberal the answer is of course no because they think themselves and their agendas to be special and above the standrds that apply to others.

This is state sponsored favoritism, nothing more.

We all know the answer to this question.

 

there is no deviant sexual behaviour you made that up

 

What some will do for a little media attention.

I worked in New Orleans back before Katrina, and remember we had the Rainbow festival and the Jehova's Witness national convention the same weekend once.

No major conflicts.

This guys an opportunist, pure and simple.

 

since he wasn't scheduled to drive, the better part of valor would be to keep his mouth shut. At least in the public arena. I have no problem with religion, any religion. But there are times and places when one does not wear their religion on their sleeves or spout off about something that really doesn't involve you.

 

Not when it is a court decision changing the law and has nothing to do with the retribution of the gay mafia.

" he used social media to post Nazi-related content and identified himself as a Calgary Transit employee."

that would definitely get one fired, that and he was already on probation before this issue began
