accusing people of "hate" is pretty much the same thing as accusing them of being a nazi. all rational discussion ends right there.
I'm trying to have a rational discussion but it appears not to be possible with you. I was just trying to make a case when a persons "free speech" may not be appropriate and so a company may be in the right to let them go. Stop making things up. Again there may be repercussions to "free speech" and that's not always bad. Be rational for a minute and think about it. If someone comes out and says that they are in agreement with Man/Boy sex, possibly a daycare center might not want to hire them or fire them if currently employed by them. I am not in favor for companies monitoring social media but if something becomes viral then the company cannot in good faith ignore it. Schilling totally deserved to be fired from ESPN for being a crude bigot in his opinions. If he had respectfully posted that he had some issues with certain things instead of posting or reposing with additional comments crude and rude posts, he might still be employed by ESPN.

i'd like to see employees protected while exercising freedom of speech on their own time just the same as they are protected while exercising freedom of religion on their own time.
They are. People have the right to practice any normal religion on their own time. But if the religion promotes harm, and the employee is encouraging people to participate in a very public way, all bets are off.

This one is for the .001% of the population that have their essential bathroom human rights denied by the Evil Stale Pale White Male Capitalist Patriarchy.

Why not call a spade a spade?
If someone feels transsexuals are taking female hormones and possibly undergoing a horrific surgery, as well as public ridicule from some quarters, just so they can peep at whatever they're gonna see in the ladies' room, then perhaps they're hateful. It is one strong possibility.
Or maybe they're just calling a spade a spade.

Curt Schilling fired by ESPN after controversial Facebook post
ESPN announced Wednesday night it has fired outspoken baseball analyst and former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling after his reposting of a meme widely interpreted as anti-transgender on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
"Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable and his employment with ESPN has been terminated," the network said in a statement.
The meme showed a picture of a male character wearing a wig and women's clothing, with the caption, "Let him in! to the restroom with your daughter or else you're a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving, racist bigot who needs to die!!!"
Schilling is said to have added the comments, “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves†and “Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.â€
