Don't worry, eventually you'll be given jail time for not wanting a relationship with the same sex.

The story linked too is of a Doctor being fired supposedly because he does not agree with the Hospital agenda. This article has some interesting features 1) there are no religious views being claimed to oppose, 2) his reasons are valid for not wanting to be involved in and 3) He's not allowed to follow his own conscience on this issue.
Should people be forced to participate in something they disagree with just to keep their jobs?

A prominent Boston doctor and Harvard Medical School professor says a prestigious hospital canned him because he refused to endorse the LGBT lifestyle, which he believes is dangerous and unhealthy.
I am just wondering why people must be forced to participate in that they don't agree with.

I'm going to reword your question. Should a privately owned entity be able to hire and fire people based on set standards they establish to their employees?

I do believe that the article implied he did not want to participate in LGBT activities that the hospital was promoting, he stated with good conscience why he did not want to participate and asked to be removed from receiving email of said events. But those emails still were coming so he felt he was being pressured to support LGBT events against his own good conscience.

I never said he was being forced to participate in LGBT lifestyle, that is the article that says that.
Should a person be forced to participate in the promotion of (insert your own) something they themselves don't agree with?

No, he was probably forced to stop saying he didn't think their activities were healthy.

No...what the good doctor is attempting to do is spread his own agenda in regards to the LGBT community. As a Doctor he should counsel a patient on risky behavior that can lead to complications.
But as a doctor he needs to realize the truth that HIV/STD's are not a result of the LGBT life style but because of choices made by individuals in all life styles. Heterosexuals are just as prone to HIV/STD's as any other group...these problems are not Homosexual diseases but sexual diseases and if an individual makes the choice of having unprotected sex, whether it be homosexual or heterosexual then the individual risks contracting a disease. As a Doctor, he should know this.
I am sure the hospital promotes many other unhealthy life style choices with soda machines readily available in the hallways, and they more than likely serve a variety of unhealthy foods in their cafeteria.
Does the good Doctor refuse to promote those risky items?
Individuals should be allowed to make their own choices and the Doctor is welcome to hold his own beliefs but not promote his own agenda over the hospital intranet and not expect to be challenged.

As I understand it from other sources, that is exactly what he was trying to do; for example, counseling against unprotected sex, especially with acquaintances and/or multiple partners.
because it would be a lack there of that would cause someone to "just keep it to yourself" ....Its called selling your soul in some circles .
Its kind of like racism; you can hate whoever you want for any or all of the wrong reasons.........just keep it to yourself.
Would you mind posting some of those other sources? Because I have found no such information in my research.
