Florida Official Fired for Planned Sex Change
Yahoo/AP reports that Steve Stanton, city manager in Largo, FL was fired by the City Commission in a 5-2 vote after announcing his plans to undergo a sex change operation.
LARGO, Fla. – Steve Stanton professed his love for the city and asked the people of Largo to support his decision to undergo a sex change and allow him to keep his $140,000-a-year job as city manager.
To his sorrow, the answer came back no.
Almost 500 people packed City Hall on Tuesday night for a special meeting to decide if they would accept someone named Susan instead of Steve as their top official. And while many spoke eloquently in his defense, more called for his ouster.
“If Jesus was here tonight, I can guarantee you he’d want him terminated,” said Pastor Ron Saunders of Largo’s Lighthouse Baptist Church. “Make no mistake about it.”
Make no mistake about it, any society that so quickly fires a person for telling the truth while holding those who claim to speak for God up as an ideal is in big trouble.
There may have been legitimate reasons to fire Stanton, but people who are so delusional that they think Jesus is talking to them do not qualify is a rational reason to force people out of their jobs.
