Are Religious People Also Tolerant and Open-Minded?

If so, prove it.

Come out, praise the Lord, and support Steve Stanton.

Because it's the right thing to do.

Steve/susan has the right to change sexes if he chooses. However, contrary to union belief, NO ONE has a right to keep their job.

If your employer wants to fire you, other than for the protected discrimination reasons, they can fire you. Coincidentally, if you want to quit, you can quit.

The city council probably made the wrong decision, considering they have not given it a chance to see if his/her running the city changes, meaning susan does a worse job or is more distracted than steve.

But the overall point is, sex change is not protected as some discrimination statute, so they "legally" have the right to fire him/her if they feel like it. Under the law, employers do not need a reason to fire employees.

Sue, Steve. Or sue, Sue.

Whichever.

But judges tend to just "feel" like they should rule a certain way, and thats how many rulings end up. Those are called activist judges.

Remember, legislatures write laws, executives (mayors, governors) administer laws, and judges only interpret laws.

So your petitioning or pushes should be to the legislature, or the city council, which is a moot point, since they already fired him. So it would then be to the state legislature, which would overrule the local legislature.
