Christian Consultant Fired for Second Time Over Gay Marriage Book
The Christian Post reports that the author of a book titled Correct, Not Politically Correct: How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone has recently been fired from Bank of America a mere months after being fired from Cisco Systems. Christian consultant Dr. Frank Turek says, "I get a lot of flak for just actually agreeing with what a majority of Americans agree on and that is that marriage is between one man and one woman." . Turek, a U.S. Navy veteran, has done leadership and team building consulting for about 15 years off and on for Bank of America, as well as Coca Cola, Home Depot and CIGNA. Three days before he was due to give a June presentation on how to adapt to diverse personalities to improve productivity and relationships, however, he was told by an HR manager that "someone Googled you and found out you wrote a book... and so we can't have you teach here anymore." Turek argued, "What does sexual activity, a person's sexual preference have to do with work productivity anyway?" Since Bank of America promotes "inclusion" and "diversity," Turek asked the CEO in a letter to consider what would've happened if he had written a book in favor of gay marriage and a conservative employee complained. "They probably would’ve fired the conservative employee," Turek conjectured.
