I strongly disagree with the beliefs she posted on Facebook, but respect her right to express what she feels and don't think she deserved to be fired over it.
Like you, however, I support private businesses' and organizations' right to terminate employment for conduct that violates their standards.
It's interesting to me how religious organizations are struggling with gay issues these days. There's no consistent stance even within the same religion, as far as I can see. At present, a gay teacher is being pushed out of a Catholic School for being engaged to another gay male, meanwhile a straight teacher in a different city is being pushed out of a job at a Catholic School for condemning gay marriage.
She has her right to free speech and just like everyone else, there could be consequences. I don't believe she should have been fired over it. They asked her to delete her facebook account and she did. That should be case closed, but it never is. Also, I believe it's legal for employers to fire people for some of the stuff they put on FB and also to ask for their passwords. Of course, me being me, I would tell them to fuck off...and then they can fire me. I think neither one of them has on ounce of common sense to share between them. She should have thought twice before posting that, and he gets a job with the Catholics knowing he's gay.
