Atlanta fire chief suspended without pay for being a Christian

Atlanta fire chief suspended without pay for being a Christian. On a positive note, this former member of the Obama administration is no doubt reconsidering his loyalty to the Democrat Party. If he’s not, he’s too dumb to worry about.

  • As a member of the Fire Dept he works for the City of Atlanta. Like a Cop or Soldier he is technically on the job 24/7

    His "Opinion" no matter how popular or stupid should be kept to himself.

    How many of the people who are outraged by his suspension would react the same if the Cheif of Police wrote a book saying that all heterosexuals are “vile,” “vulgar”, and “inappropriate”?

  • Once again the tolerant left displays their real feelings about someone's opinion. I hope this guy sues the city of Atlanta off the face of the planet.

    • It's Atlanta, if he sues the city of Atlanta off the face of the planet......he will get a check for 32.50.
      Then the check will bounce.

  • So gay people are worried the Atlanta Fire Department will allow homes of gays to burn? How will firefighters know if the burning building belongs to a gay guy or gal?

    "Oh my, what big hoses you firefighters have!"

  • Looks like being a black Democrat has been superseded by the gays and illegal aliens. I wonder when they'll get that voting for Democrats doesn't further their agenda?

  • I don't make it my business to persecute people whose lifestyle differ from my own even if I don't agree. As long as he is able to do his job effectively, economically and with great equanimity (as long as it is possible), his beliefs or lifestyle should not be an issue.

    • Hey look the three of us have gotten a TD. Awesome.

      BTW to everyone here

      Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the day and your family. The parade, football games and all. Leave the shopping until Friday.

  • The gay mafia strikes again. Good for the chief to stand up for his convictions and rights. If being gay isn't a choice, why all the hate from those who are gay against those who stand by their beliefs and principals?

    • Seems to me this is an open-and-shut lawsuit waiting to happen. The guy wrote a book before he was even fire chief, he expressed his religious views, and that's a problem for the city how?

      • Must not have been a problem when they promoted him, looks like some "grubers" found out about it after his promotion and when in and made a lisping complaint to the city....waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

        Now if he had advocated screwing goats and young children and abusing women, there would be no problem.
