Here in my home town a Company went out of their way to make sure no gay couples went to their Christmas party.

I think this goes to prove that anti gay people are not only bigoted but dumb. Why not just say you can only bring a spouse? Why open yourself to this kind of attention?

Some people make me ill.

The anti-gay crowd is about 3 steps away from starting an all out culture war that history shows they will loose.

That company in the OP is stupid. Prop 8 has encouraged other bigots to crawl out out from under their rocks.

Did a lawyer write that email? I mean really "under Missouri law" who would write a Christmas party letter like that? If this is a publicly traded company someone is in huge trouble.

I want justice to win and bigotry to lose.

The company doesn't have to give a Christmas party at all. It certainly has the right to dictate who from outside the company may attend. And, yes, the company e-mail about the Christmas party is an internal company matter and should never have been released to the media: the guy was rightly fired.

Now, if the guy wanted to quit working there and then engage in a public campaign to get people to boycott the company for its preferential treatment of breeders, he was free to do so. You're not going to change corporate behavior unless you can negatively affect corporate profits.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Chan, I don't think Lumara believes that a non-governmental entity should be legally compelled to include homosexuals in their Christmas Party. However, surely you recognize the small-mindedness and bigotry demonstrated by the company as worthy of contempt. Right?

If the Founders didn't mention small-mindedness, bigotry or Christmas parties in the Constitution, then nobody has the authority to recognize it. Right, Chan?

But people have every right to be small-minded and have every right to be bigots. Lumara's libertarianism seems to only go so far: she still bows at the feet of that idol called political correctness. If the homos want to change the company's behavior then they need to hit them where it hurts: in their profit margins; and the way to do that is to get enough people to boycott the company.

Well, the federal government doesn't.
