I'd love to know what other people's reasons are for thinking the way they do.
A person's beliefs should not impact his job status. Only his behavior and actions when he is working should impact his job status. A corporate executive may be a misogynist. Whether he belongs to an organization, or not, if he hires, promotes women based on the same standards that he uses for men, and treats men and women the same, he would be considered an effective executive. If he discriminates against women, he should be fired. If this cop treats people of color differently than he treats whites, he should be fired. Until then, I don't see any reason for his beliefs to impact his job status. Would it be ok to fire someone because they are attracted to someone of the same gender?
