Actress intimidated out of a production...

Peckerhead said?
"Racists, exists, etc are small enough in number that it shouldn't be an issue. "
On this I agree. Exists really get on my nerves.

damn those exists.
"Same thing with the duck dynasty guy. You have the right to say/endorse whatever, but not be free from consequences. If the theater company feels like she will hurt their sales because of a mostly liberal or hispanic audience then they have the right to protect their sales " woody
****************************************
so, a gay person who has the opinion, that it's okay to be openly gay ... shouldn't be free from consequences?
If the store owner feels like sales will be hurt, because of a mostly conservative audience...then they have the right
to protect their sales?
yep. Can't wait for the woody response.

I am pretty sure it is a law that you can not fire someone because of their sexual orientation.
If some Tea Party group was holding a play about Christian Values or some shit, and it came out one of the actors thinks gays should be allowed to get married, that would be the same thing. If their entire play would be protested and boycotted and what not, then they would urge him to resign.
You would hope we live in a time where a gay store clerk wouldnt scare off customers, but I guess not. That is sad actually.
I would think you could not fire that clerk from being openly gay. If he was walking around shoving his beliefs down customers throats, or being a very public figure in pro gay movements, in such a way that the customers of this little backwards town would stop going to the store, I would think the owner has a right to save his business.
I know you are expecting me to completely flip what I said based on the context of the situation, but I am not you. People have the right to say whatever but not the right to be free from consequences (all within the law, reason, etc).
There should be no negative consequences for someone being openly gay (or black, muslim, a woman, etc). But that doesnt mean everyone has to agree with them. I know you Retards think the gay agenda or whatever is coming to get you, but luckily you are a minority.
Edit: Turns out in over half of the states you can be fired for your sexual orientation. That is pretty fucked up.

Fucked up?
You're defending firing someone for supporting a political party that you don't like.

No Steve, that is not what I am saying. Would you like to try again?

They pay the cost, they get to be the boss. She voiced her opinion, it didn't jive with their message, and thus they can let her go. The same can be said for any other business institution.

That's exactly what you were doing.
Maybe you could rethink or amend it...

Well I guess you know what I was saying better than I do.

Yep.
She supported a political candidate they (and apparently you) didn't like and they canned her. You said that was fine.

Yep, clearly that was all there was to what I posted. Nothing more.

I'm pretty sure political affiliation would fit into woody's precious protected list. You can't fire someone based on what political party they support
-
Its not "fair" but actors/actress, and people who are consider face of businesses(PR people) are more preventive in expressing views or opinions that are different from the parent company or are considered controversial. A film/show/theater company would rather drop a small name actor/actress than to face any bad press or potential boycott.
Political views are not protected in most states specially if you are talking about it at work.

Ugh
They weren't being fired just because they support the political party they do. They were being fired because the the potential effects from that support. Boycotts, angry groups at the theater, effects on the other actors, etc. Just the fact that she supported a Tea Party candidate alone isn't why she's being fired.
I'm guessing if you were fired because you were a Rep and your boss was a Dem them you could call byllshit and file something. Assuming there was nothing ejse going on there

You gotta understand, Leroy, you're a fine employee I like you personally as a matter of fact many of my friends are African American. But gee whiz some of the customers here, well, you know, they aren't as cultured as I am so... Anyway good luck on the job search I'll be sure to give you a good recommendation. And merry Christmas to you and the family.

There is a big difference when firing someone based off race and than based off a political opinion, comparing the 2 is kind of absurd. Now if the Employee was for abortion while the Employer was fervently against it(or vice versa), then the Employer could fire the Employee if he wanted(in most states this is allowed).
-
Sorry if you got the wrong idea, Leroy. It's not because of your skin color, no siree Bob! But as I recall didn't you vote for Obama last election? And didn't you have an Obama sticker on your car?
Security could you escort Leroy of the premises?

Pretty much, though you would risk alienating customers that where pro-obama if it came to light that you hire/fire based off who someone votes for. So it would be better practice not to directly say that and to fire Leroy for another reason(even if its borderline made up). http://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/discrimination-employment.aspx

Actually counselor I fired him for having an Obama sticker on his car. And we can all be coy about it but let that happen once and let's hear the lawsuits blaring out.
And I'm not required to offend everyone equally. I'm sure there are some people who are pro enforcing the laws of the land spending within the budget etc who felt Maria Conchita should not have been shit canned.

So...in essence fired not for performance but for supporting an unpopular political party. Sounds like a lawsuit to me
