Yeah, I don't think I would have fired him. It all depends on what information I could glean from each party.
I would at least have given him some kind of disciplinary action. I understand he's Christian and has a particular view of homosexuality (whether it's Christian or not is another story). But you don't tell people in the workplace that they're moral deviants for being in a homosexual relationship.
