Atheism

lol this bitch didn't just get fired from a job for saying homophobic shit...SHE TOOK A ROLE PLAYING A GAY CHARACTER!

She didn't read the script. Found out later she played a gay character. Why didn't she just quit?

I can understand that you might not approve of the lifestyle, as some kind of religious person, but why do they have to persecute others.

"Defending her right to make anti-LGBTQ+ comments" is a strange way to frame this by a pro-LGBTQ source. No one here is saying she doesn't have a right to say these things, they're saying she doesn't have a right to stay employed at this job after saying these things and refusing to work with her employer to manage public perception

“I do not believe you can be born gay, and I do not believe homosexuality is right, though the law of this land has made it legal doesn’t mean it’s right,” Omooba wrote in the post. “I do believe that everyone sins and falls into temptation but it’s by the asking of forgiveness, repentance and the grace of God that we overcome and live how God ordained us to, which is that a man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh.”

Hmm, being homophobic and trying to have a career in theater. Thats a bold move, lets see how it pays off.

After hearing testimony in 2021 that Omooba had previously told her agents that she refused to play gay roles and had not bothered to read the script for the musical version of The Color Purple before accepting the role, an employment tribunal dismissed the actor’s religious discrimination claim, The Telegraph reported.

How can you not even read the script, the book its based on, or even at the least watch the Hollywood movie for a part you're trying to land in an acting performance?

“I have long forgiven all those who have sought to ruin my theatre career,” Omooba said in a statement following the ruling, “but the theatre world needs to be told, loud and clear, that canceling people for their Christian beliefs is illegal and wrong.”

Doesn't look like it turned out well for her.

Before appealing, she should take into account whether she can afford to pay more legal costs if (when) she loses again.

A society doesn't have freedom if I can't insist others can't have freedom! /s

People really need to learn that "freedom of expression" is not the same as free from consequences. Otherwise, defamation wouldn't be a crime, for instance.

on this episode of "My Sincerely Held Belief Takes Precedence Over Everything" we once again attempt to claim that any consequences for my anti-social behavior is a direct attack on myself and my religion.

Maybe don't accept queer roles after explicitly telling people you won't play queer roles and that you don't believe homosexuality exists. Seems pretty easy.

Why is it always so hard to just leave people alone? How empty is her life that she actually went to court over this, spent money, time, and resources on hate.
