American Red Cross Fires Employee for Refusal to Celebrate "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month"

Josue Sierra at Latino Issues found this disturbing story (via RedState)...

A relative brought this story to my attention on the recent case of the Red Cross employee that was fired for his refusal to celebrate the Gay lifestyle.It is sad to see a life-saving organization getting distracted by politics and political correctness, instead of focusing on what they should be--saving lives. It is worst when political correctness trumps over individual's rights of expression and free exercise of religion. We can only hope the courts correct this error by the Red Cross, and communicate clearly to American corporations that free speech is still a constitutional right in this country.

And he has a suggestion from a reader -- read on.

As Josue points out, this is similar to the AllState case where an employee was fired for contributing a story denouncing same-sex marriage to MensNewsDaily.com on his own time.

Side note: This is my first time to Latino Issues. Good stuff. I will be back periodically.
