Since when does an employer, who is not supposed to discriminate one way or another, have the right to promote one over the other?
Are we as christians supposed to crawl under a rock due to our employers "bottom line" concerns? Since when does "bottom line" take precedence over constitutional rights?
First its Christmas, what will be next? A female co-worker pats me on the behind and I'm supposed to "tolerate" that as a sign of affection? Will that be next? (I sure hope not cause I will get fired if that were to happen)
And I am talking about IN the work place. I could say much more for things done OUTSIDE the work place.

The work place is the work place. The constitution protects you from govt action against you. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
A co-worker touching your behind is sexual harassment. Sue your employer if they tolerate that.
An employer cant discriminate in their hiring practices. That includes sex,age,religion,sexual preference.
Its not rocket science.
What do you want? The right to walk around and condemn people to hell? Not everyone is christian.
