two former employees claimed they were wrongfully terminated for refusing to wear an apron with a rainbow symbol.

The ex-employees, who identify as Christian, cited religious objections in their refusal to wear what they believed was an "endorsement of the LGBTQ community," according to the lawsuit.

The complaint was filed Monday by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of Brenda Lawson, 72, and Trudy Rickerd, 57, who both worked at a Kroger store in Conway, Arkansas, for several years before being fired last spring The two women were allegedly disciplined and eventually terminated after they refused to wear new aprons issued last April that featured an embroidered rainbow heart on the top left portion of the bib.

What a bunch of idiots, firing two elderly women in Arkansas who clearly stated their religious objections...

Whoever ordered the firings is the one who needs to go, what a clear ignorance of employment law.

Good, old white women who have to work for a living are still a sympathetic demographic.

Hopefully this turns into a precedent that employees can't be forced to virtue signal as a condition of employment.

I mean, while that's true that's not even a rainbow. Its 3 colors. Do gays just own anything more than monocolored now?

We must have really lost the war if we let the homos own color as a whole.

Yeah, that's why all those WW2 photos are in black and white.

Being fired is quite a bit more dramatic than refusing to wear a symbol.

Why is this being downvoted? Is this inconvenient to the "people got fired for refusing to wear pride flag" narrative that this thread is trying to push?

Why are you shooting the messenger? There are hundreds of stories in 2020 that actually deserve being outraged about.

the corparation I worked for sort of tried to do this, they made every manager wear an LBGT lanyard and "suggested" staff wear one for a month. Naturally I refused , but being a white straight make and so excluded from pay rises, promotion and interesting jobs had nothing to lose careerwise :)

Btw this company is in a business you would think no sjw would go within a 100 miles of so toxic is the business. Unfortunately cant say who for obvious readons.
