Which is exactly what he is doing. I'm sorry Boredpayne but the definition is VERY clear.

Are you serious? You want to ostracize someone just for having a different opinion even if it's harmless and none of your business...

Affirmative action exists to combat institutionalized racism. It is very easy for mid-20s straight white dudes to ponder "but doesn't that make YOU the real racists?" while ignoring the combined effects of decades of mistreatment of black people at the hands of white people, but that's a separate discussion for a separate thread where you will no doubt be the sole voice of reason advocating for the poor, mistreated not brown folk.
Affirmative action exists to bring under-represented groups up to the level of everyone else, not to abuse other groups in order to bring everyone down or to establish a new privileged class.
Affirmative action is not an excuse for racism against a majority.

Racism against blacks does not justify racism against whites.
You are being pretty ridiculous. I want a world without any discrimination, not a world where everyone is discriminated against equally. Blacks are not allowed to be racist against whites just because whites are racist against blacks. Whites shouldn't be racist against blacks just because blacks are racist against whites. How is this hard to understand?
No group, be it feminists, LGBT, racial minorities, have the right to abuse others just because they feel an injustice has been caused against them. There is no 'discrimination debt' that needs to be payed off, just don't discriminate.

He isn't actively racist by discriminating against blacks or anything, but he'd anger any viewers that didn't like racists. I think the same applies here. He's not actively discriminating against homosexuals, but he might anger viewers that don't like people that don't like homosexuals. So I think it's somewhat right for him to have been suspended, if they didn't want to anger those viewers.
y'know guys?
Yup, I agree, but;

I don't think this would ever happen. So is it 'fair' for someone to be suspended for being anti-homosexual, when someone wouldn't have been suspended for being pro-homosexual?
Even if their opinion doesn't impact the show, and is not really controversial, and they are completely reasonable and tolerant about it? This show has 4 seasons, it obviously hasn't impacted his job at all.

Yet another example of LGBT receiving preferential treatment.
