Today I fired a staff member who made it public knowledge that they feel "it's okay to vote no".
Advertising your desire to vote no for SSM is, in my eyes, hate speech.
Voting no is homophobic. Advertising your homophobia is hate speech. As a business owner I can't have somebody who publicly represents my business posting hate speech online.
... 1. Its bad for business
2. I don't like shit morals
3. I don't want homophobes working for me, especially in an environment with children.
It's not okay to vote no. It's not okay to be homophobic. This isn't a matter of opinion or even religion. It's a matter of the love & livelihood of real human beings. Freedom of speech is there for a reason and so are consequences.
Vote against homophobia. Vote for equality. Vote yes ☺️💘🌈
*FYI this wasn't a "you're voting no, you're fired" situation. There were prior conversations had. As a business that works with children of all kinds, we have a responsibility to working with vulnerable people and having someone who is out & proud about their beliefs (of which are statistically proven to have horrible effects on young members of the gay community) is a risk for the wellbeing of the children we work with.
