If all he really did was say that he thought homosexuality was wrong, I don't think it deserves employment termination.
A warning, maybe a day or two off the job might have been more appropriate, just to make sure he doesn't bring his beliefs in the workplace again, especially if they include discrimination against any group of people.
But maybe the manager felt under pressure, and feared for he and his store's reputation if a gay advocacy group made a big deal out of it, had he not fired the employee.
