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.
