I don't know. I try not to associate myself with those people.

In seriousness the point I was trying to make is the same as CroFlames; some religiously motivated bad ideas are bad for reasons having nothing at all to do with bigoted content.

As for the second question, no. But it makes you naive and sets your children up for a sketchy future if you don't choose to educate them on proper sexual safety... But again, not bigoted. Just poor judgement.
Well then your original post should be edited methinks.

I disagree that it's naive to not teach your children sexual safety. It is downright idiotic and dangerous. You should absolutely teach them about sex and safety. But there is also nothing bigoted about teaching them to save themselves for marriage.

It's really incredible how backwoods and downright void of any intelligence some people can be. I lost all respect for religious wackos a long time ago and can barely stand them anymore.

This guy should have quit immediately to stand by his lunatic convictions.

Your hypothetical would be blatant racism.
If he refused to let gay people on the bus he drove that too is a totally different situation.
He should not have to be forced to promote or participate in anything he does not believe in.
Lol. How can you 'believe in' gay people? Is acknowledging them a choice?

It's interesting living during this period of acceptance of homosexuality. I have a parent that still thinks it's an abomination, but sees no problem with minorities, perhaps because it was around my age when black people and anyone not white were fighting this same battle. My grandparents died before I really became aware of these issues (hey, I'm a straight white guy, never had any of these problems), so I wonder if any graves got rolled over in when I dated a black girl.

I don't understand how people actually think they're better than other people. I mean, I think I'm "better" than Paul Bernardo, but as far as random stranger black guy or gay guy, to just think down about people and think you're better or that you're right, and they're somehow wrong is just hard to comprehend.

This clown who has a problem with a city owned service clarifying that they accept all citizens equally, is embarrassing. And people defending him and hoping "he sues the hell out of them" are also embarrassing.

Honestly, believing that someone is evil for being gay is like believing that they are evil for being left handed. Because that was a thing, long ago. Yes, another doozy for religion. "My beliefs wont allow me to be taught in the same classroom as a left handed person". F'n seriously. I hope this bus driver comes around before he poisons the minds of any offspring.

I really like the phrase "believes in homosexuality" or "doesn't believe in homosexuality". Like it is Santa Claus.

Anyone read the letter of termination he provided to the Sun?

I recommend everyone (especially this "Poison" person who is seemingly impervious to reason) take a peek.

Important takeaways:
- He is being terminated because of his interactions with the media as a representative of CT / CoC.
- He was informed that he would not be asked to drive the bus prior to his misadventures with the media.
- He was still on his probationary period.

He was on probation and terminated with just cause. Good riddance, Jesse.

The City's termination letter to the Bus Driver mentions Nazi related Facebook posts. Does anyone know anything about that?

This pastor sounds like a real idiot. Reminds of how Kirk Cameron went full nut, and was always appearing with some giddy churchy type. Feels like these people are being manipulated by their church and used as puppets.
