Here's another instance of a guy just "liking" a gay wedding picture on Facebook and getting fired. Here are FOUR points to Consider:Of course,this guy worked for the Catholic Church... so as a former Catholic it's no surprise they fired him just for that. So much for embracing all people, Catholics! (Watch the video interview below)
- First, he didn't promote gay marriage at the church.
- Second, it was his personal facebook page. He can do what he wants
- Third, although Catholic Churches won't marry gay couples, it's LEGAL. Hello!
- Fourth, the Church should worry about their sexual predators instead of firing a guy for liking gay weddings.
Here's the story:
Campus Minister Claims Facebook Posts About Friends’ Gay Weddings Got Him Fired
Cleveland State University’s Keith Kozak, who is Catholic, says his employer wanted to talk to him about “some things on Facebook and Twitter.”
A gay Ohio man believes he lost his job for supporting friends’ same-sex marriages on social media.
Until last week, Keith Kozak worked was a campus minister at Cleveland State University, where he provided Catholic outreach to students, local ABC affiliate News 5 Cleveland reported Friday. However, he said he was fired by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland after liking a friend’s Facebook post celebrating his five-year anniversary to his husband.
Kozak had also posted a congratulatory message that showed him attending a different friend’s same-sex wedding last year. Kozak claims that image might have also contributed to his employer terminating him.
“I never posted anything that, in my opinion, would’ve been controversial in any way,” Kozak, a 39-year-old practicing Catholic, told News 5 Cleveland.
At the time of his termination last month, Kozak was in the process of applying for a promotion, he said. When his supervisor suggested a meeting, he believed it was part of that interview process.
Instead, he said, school officials “sat me down, and they said, ‘We had seen some things on Facebook and Twitter ... we’d like to talk to you about that.’” Though Kozak noted that he did not disclose his sexuality during the meeting, he received a termination letter a day later.
