From WDWS:
A Social Security Administration employee who feared for his job after refusing in June to watch a required workplace-diversity video about the LGBT community has not been disciplined any further and thinks the outcome of the presidential election may have played a part in that.
David Hall, 42, of Tolono said he believes President-elect Donald Trump's win in November is partly why no punishment followed a two-day August suspension without pay for his continued refusal to watch the video, which he believes violates his religious beliefs. ...
Since then, Hall said, another agency employee in Iowa became aware of him through media coverage and contacted him, saying he had also refused to watch the video.
But, as Hall understands it, that employee's bosses didn't indicate the video was mandatory and didn't discipline him at all. ...

Sorry - I don't get it. If mgmt. wants you to watch it, and you are getting paid to watch it, watch it. How do you know it offends you unless you do?
Oh come on, if a person professes Christianity and states LGBT offends them, what more does it take? Don't we bend over backwards for other groups and religions??
Since when did being offended by something become a reason not to do your job? The video isn't requiring this person to change his religious beliefs. Can this employee also refuse to work on the claim of an LGBTQ claimant because that offends him?
Clearly this man is no Christian. If he views LGBTQ individuals as sinners, isn't he supposed to still love the sinner, only hate the sin? Is not like he is being forced to watch gay porn at work.
Sounds to me like this employee is a special snowflake.
Well, isn't that special!

This snowflake better run to his safe space NOW!!!
Actually the LGBT had better run to their safe space now.
My church will not perform a gay wedding, but members are encouraged to still embrace their gay friends and relatives, even attend the ceremony elsewhere.
At the social security office you will meet all kinds and everything. I can't understand why this one group of 'sinners' is singled out for disparate treatment. If you're not the doer, don't worry about it.
It was a dumb video telling employees to treat LGBT folks w/ respect. Dumb because we are supposed to do that for everyone, LGBT, Trump supporters, lawyers, etc. The video was a complete waste of time. I doubt it changed how anybody would do anything.
