I'm very quick to say people shouldn't be punished for their views as long as those views don't affect someone else negatively. In this case his views negatively affected his newspaper and I understand why they dismissed him.
I agree.
Just curious, will those that support the paper when someone is fired because they said something that may be upsetting to those that are conservative? Clearly this paper fired him because they thought (they may be right) that he may have offended a portion of their readers, thus putting their profits at risk. I get that.
However, I am guessing that many that support the paper would not be so supportive if a homosexual, Global warming believer, Atheist or someone else is fired for their liberal leaning opinions or speech?

I would say the same thing. The paper had that right.

Nothing changes Nova. If an employee's action impacts his employer's business negatively they have every right to terminate that employee. Circumstances are not always the same and thus the consequences could vary but the employer's rights remain intact.
