[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very progressive and work for a very progressive organization that is usually at least 20% LGBTQ. I personally do not buy food at Chick-fil-a and complained to my kid's school when they did a CFA fundraiser. I wouldn't hold it against someone who worked for CFA. I don't discriminate in hiring based on religion. We have a few evangelical Christians and a Jehovah Witness on our staff. We make it clear in hiring that we hire and serve a very diverse group of people and if you can't work with people who hold different views, even views you may strongly disagree with than this is not the place for you. In the interviewing process, we might ask questions such as how would you respond to a student who disclosed a pregnancy? how would you respond to a student who came out to you? how would you respond to a student who couldn't participate in org activities because of religious obligations. In those answers we would be looking for respect, compassion, and a not overly directive response.[/quote]

You are nuts.  Kid was hired to make fries and clean bathrooms.  They would have no opinion on these topics because of their employment.  Those questions are also actionalble under DC Human Rights law.  [/quote]

If someones job is to provide support to students (therapy, counseling, emotional lay counselor, etc) , then yes it is important to know how someone would respond to those situations.  Similarly, a pharmacist doesn't get to impose their beliefs and decide whether or not to fill a prescriptions, be it cancer meds, birth control, morning after pill, etc---if their beliefs prevent them from doing their job properly, then they need to find another job.  Similarly if your beliefs prevent you from handling pork or any other type of food, then you should not work in a restaurant or meat processing plant that handles pork or that type of food.  You are entitled to your beliefs, but you are not entitled to a specific job if you refuse to do the actual job description. It's really quite simple.
