Should This Woman Have Been Fired?

Have you heard the one about the university administrator who was recently fired after saying you can't compare gay rights to civil rights?

Well, in case you haven't here it is.

In case you don't want to go to the link, a University of Toledo vice president for human resources , Crystal Dixon, wrote a column in a local newspaper saying: "I take great umbrage at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle are 'civil rights victims.' Here's why. I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman."

True.

But was she out of line?

Dixon said gay rights can't be compared to civil rights because homosexuality is a choice.

She further stated: "There are consequences for each of our choices, including those who violate God's divine order."

Two weeks later, Dixon was fired. School officials said her views contradicted university policies, according to the lawsuit.

Dixon is now suing for wrongful termination, by the way. Conservatives, naturally, are taking up her cause.

Before a judge decides Dixon's case, what do you think?
