Now if you're right, and homosexuals are socially inclined to be homosexual and not biologically inclined to be homosexual, does that make it okay to fire them from jobs and treat them with disrespect? Is it okay to treat someone with less respect because they are different, even if the difference isn't biological, but social? I'm trying to get to the root of the article's implications, not argue points that no one will cave on. Does your moral code allow for you to fire someone for simply being gay, despite the fact that when you didn't know thery were gay, they were excelent workers that did not hurt or effect anyone with their sexual prefrence? Is sexual prefrence so damning in your mind?

It depends on if their lifestyle inteferes with the work environment or adversely effects the business as to whether someone should be fired. Ideally, you wouldn't know if someone was gay or not. But if it intruded into their work and a great deal of other employees or customers complained, then yes they should be fired.
People get treated differently due to their behavior all the time, sexual or otherwise. If you find some behavior immoral or wrong, you have no obligation to accept it. However, you shouldn't go actively seeking those you disapprove of for the express reason of harassing them, either.
