GAY TRUTH

Logo of the Fox Broadcasting Company (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Craig James , a former professional football player and respected sportscaster, is suing Fox Sports Southwest , alleging that the broadcast network fired him because of his religious beliefs on homosexuality and marriage. After working at the network for only a few days—and hosting one broadcast—James was terminated by Fox Sports on Sep. 1, 2013. A senior vice president at the network suggested that the decision was based on statements James made about homosexuality and same-sex marriage—expressed more than a year prior to being hired at Fox Sports while campaigning to run for Senate. James ran for a U.S. Senate seat in 2012, eventually losing to Sen.

In the course of the campaign, Craig was asked -- as all candidates are -- about his views on marriage and sexuality.

LOS ANGELES, September 9, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Thou shalt not refer to homosexuality as “a choice” – at least not if you ever want to work for Fox Sports.  That’s the lesson announcer Craig James learned this week when he was fired from his job covering college football after just one appearance, because of remarks he made on the campaign trail during his unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate back in 2011. During a Republican primary debate for the Texas nomination, James criticized one of his opponents, former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert , for marching in gay pride parades , saying, “I think right now in this country, our moral fiber is sliding down a slope that is going to be hard to stop if we don’t stand up with leaders who don’t go ride in gay parades.  I can assure you I will never ride in a gay parade.  And I hear what you’re saying, Tom, but leaders - our kids out there, people need to see examples.” Craig James The moderator then asked him, “Do ...
