An employee of the Nashville venue Rocketown was recently fired after 7 years of employment for wearing a Hostage Calm "I Support Same-Sex Marriage" shirt.
Do people not understand this yet? Christians are opposed to gay marriage. Does this come as a surprise to anyone? If this message board posts a news thread every time a christian in the music industry voices an anti gay marriage opinion, it's going to pop up here CONSTANTLY. Rocketown is and has ALWAYS been a christian venue. They are arguably more tolerant than most christian institutions. But did anyone expect them to be pro gay rights? And don't they as a privately owned, christian institution have the right to hire people who are going to uphold their agenda?

Why did you work there for more than month if you're that open about your non-Christian beliefs. Moreover, if you liked your job, why would you wear a shirt that CLEARLY would stir the pot? He knew what he was doing wearing the shirt.
Obviously it's bullshit he got fired, but come on.

Some Christians are opposed to gay marriage.
Their opposition should be met with vocal criticism and social pressure.
