Peter Vadala, 24, worked as a deputy manager at a Brookstone gifts store at Boston's Logan Airport until August, he said. A woman visiting from another store mentioned her female fiance. Gay marriage is legal in Massachusetts.
"As a Christian, I think that's bad stuff," Vadala said in his video. The co-worker warned him she would speak to human resources, he said.
"HR, buddy, keep your opinions to yourself," he said he was told.
Brookstone's president and CEO said in a statement that company officials do not discuss personnel matters publicly, and that a "thorough and fair investigation" had been completed.

I am so sorry that your employer was so petty that they fired you for expressing how uncomfortable you were for this woman to be talking the way she was. Sounds to me that you would have been uncomfortable with ANYONE talking in the manner that she was...Being a guy talking about a girl or otherwise. We as the correct have no rights anymore......The wrong and the criminals are the ones that are so called "Right"
