Moral Mailbox: My Boss Is Gay
by Michael Gregory Steele
Welcome to the first installment of the Moral Mailbox, a forum where moral questions are answered by your bastions of moral strength, Michael Gregory Steele and Herman B. Hayes. Let's get to our question (clearly not edited for grammar):im faced with a moral dilema in my place of employment. my manager has made it very clear that he is openly gay. as a conservative christian i find it problematic to follow orders from someone morally inferior. what should i do? - concerned christian
This is quite an ethical dilemma, Concerned Christian, or at least that's what I would say if I weren't ten times more wise than Solomon.
This reminds me of a situation at my own place of employment that happened about 6 years ago. I had just been transferred to a different department and was moving the contents of my desk to my much larger new office. As I was setting my belongings onto my new desk, a woman stepped into my office. While I paused to think of what kind of coffee I would ask her to fetch for me, she stuck out her hand and spoke. "Hello, I'm your new boss," she said. At that point the room began to spin.
It's a very difficult situation when the corporate order runs counter to the natural order as in either of these cases.
First of all, it is important to remind your boss of how much God abhors homosexuality. This is something you should do daily. Because of laws that protect these fragile homosexuals against "hate speech" you should only make subtle comments. Some suggestions are:
- Somebody just told me about Leviticus 18:22, and it's a real shame about your "lifestyle" being an abomination.
- I hope God doesn't decide strike you down for your deviant sexual activities because I really enjoy working with you.
- I was reading the Bible on my break, and I don't want to ruin the ending, but you go to hell for being gay.
If this doesn't work, you can always do what I did to solve my problem. I stayed up every night plotting ways to make things right in my world. I sabotaged project after project for my female boss. I did this until it became clear to the higher ups that I was the right man for my boss's job. Like women, homosexuals just don't belong in positions of authority. Unfortunately, sabotage may be the only way to rectify this situation.

May God be merciful with you. Jesus came to earth to teach compassion, truth, and that we must love each other as he loved us and you do such deplorable comments and vicious attitudes among others. It is such a shame for God. It is such a shame for his son. It is such a lack of humanity in such strong hate.
I pray for a change, and I pray for your soul full of hate.
Wow, I didn't know they actually made people as suggestible as you. If god said to stab yourself in the eye and then have sex with a donkey and you would be deemed holy, would you do it? Or would you think for yourself and make a judgement call that the request is rediculous and something YOU don't think is the right thing to do.
You probably won't allow this comment because you are afraid that others might agree with what I am saying. That is fine, this is the standard practice of the church. Control the message and control the people. It is all a power game and you've fallen hook line and sinker.
You're a frightening example of why I will never subscribe to organized religion. Although I don't believe in judging others--as God asks us not to in the Bible--I would have to believe that YOU are the one hell-bound, not some poor soul who has the misfortune of being homosexual! (Do you really believe, in our bigoted times, that anyone WANTS to be gay?! I don't believe that, given the CHOICE, anyone would CHOOSE to be homosexual. It's not a choice!) I would also conclude that your homophobia has something to do with your own, shall we say, propensity towards homosexuality, but your shame fills you with hate toward those who are honest about it. I pity you, sir; and I will pray for your ignorance to be enlightened before it's too late.
I guess this site is a joke aimed at making fun of people, like me, who agree with you and your anti faggot ways. Still, I applaud you for at least writing the stuff, no matter how... mocking... it may be.
This is a joke, right? I laughed when I read it, then I noticed people were making real comments on this.
You can't possibly think that women and homosexuals are actually beneath you, can you?
If you do, you really should go get some help for this problem that you have.
Just a joke... Look at the list of links to the right -- good liberal sites, all of them. This is hilarious stuff, tho!
I think this is hillarious. And even more hillarious that people fell for it.
Besides, everyone knows that gays are better than straights.
What is wrong with people? At first I enjoyed the humor and felt optimistic about the fate of humanity having seen that someone's critical faculties are running at 100%. But then...those comments. I'll try to take comfort in the idea that perhaps I'm just not sophisticated enough to understand that people are piling irony upon irony.
It's amazes me that real human beings have hateful thoughts like these, all justified and based on a god you have created to fit your small-minded social circles called 'churches'.
I pray that your kind either die off or evolve.
My bos was a huge leszbo so i did some shit to her at work like you said and all and lets just say that dyke dont work with me no more!
You have forgotten to mention that there is actually a benefit to having an immoral, heathen, (obviously Democratic) gay boss : getting a head is generally easier with a sodomite boss. We god-fearing Republicans have an obligation to suc-ceed.
I was telling the married woman I was in bed with last night that both myself and my husband are concerned about the moaral decay in this country.

Darlings, remember Neo-cons have absolutely no sense of humor, even if you strike them squarely between the eyes with it.
Forgive them, Goddess, for they know not. Period.
Blessings!
It's a shame we have to resort to clandestine strategies like sabotage to achieve our moral obligations. I wish there were a sort of smite-remote-control I could walk around with and zap morally degenerate people. Those zapped would be given a high speed ticket to god's wrath. I'm tired of having to wait for them to die before going to hell.
Ok, seriously!!!! You are ALL ignorant! To a degree, I am too! Crap, we are ALL ignorant to a certain extent! Let me just start by saying this: this whole gay thing was SATIRE. It was meant to be ridiculous, and it was meant to be way less than logical! You all took it way too far! And for those of you who say that "it's a choice".....it is NOT a choice! Have you ever asked someone why they were gay? If you ask somebody who's gay, OF COURSE they'll say that it's ok.......they don't want you to condemn them! But if they used to do gay things, but changed, they will tell you the truth, that they DID choose to do that!
When the Bible says that we were born into sin, it means that we were born into a sinful world, not that we were born with sin already in our own lives! I don't know exactly where.....I believe it's in Matthew......but in the Bible, it is said that "when a man lays with another man, in the same way that he lays with a woman, it is an abomination in the sight of the Lord." But, that does not mean that they can't be forgiven.
The bible says "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything else will be added unto you." If one seeks God and a relationship with him, above all things, then EVERYTHING will fall into place..........well that's my little mini sermon for now!! Good luck, and God Bless!! :)
Hey guys, I just wrote the last comment, and I just noticed a mistake.......I mean to say that it IS A choice, despite those saying that it isn't....sorry a/b that!
I agree with you gay people choose to be gay. NO ONE is born gay.
Just a warning, if anyone moves to Davis, CA get ready for intense arguments with everyone about this subject
Moral confusion over sex and our various roles is understandable in todays world as a result of Bill Clinton so you are not alone.
I was the same as you, a gay man, craving for the company of other gays but fortunately Pastor Dobson and Faldwell have started me on the road to cure. Thanks to their "education" I have forsaken my evil ways and eleminated my moral confusion. I know I am a better man for it. In fact each time I see a beautiful woman in a bar I pray that someday God will make me a lesbian.
Keep up the struggle and God Bless G Bush..
THANK YOU! I agree with everything in your writing!
