But you'll buy a phone from a company that supports sin that Paul declared was an abomination in the sight of God because it's inconvenient not to have one.

That is downright frightening, because you are dead wrong. Generally speaking, the baseline rule is in most states in US is that employment is "At Will", unless there is a written employment contract, meaning they can fire you for any reason--including if they don't like the color of the shirt you're wearing. There are some federal laws, state laws, etc. that, as a patchwork, protect SOME employees in SOME circumstances, but it is by no means generally applicable. Yet. For example, federal CONTRACTORS cannot discriminate based upon sexual orientation, but that is a RECENT executive order from President Obama (as in within a month -- http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-to-sign-order-protecting-lgbt-rights-for-federal-contractors/ ). Why exactly would such an executive order be necessary if protections already existed under current law?
The only other way for protections to be there is if the company's employee policy states such an anti-discrimination policy--then the employee would have a claim, but merely based on the breach of that policy.
The EEOC website spoke of discrimination based upon sex, not sexual orientation. If a gay man was fired for being a man--then he'd have a claim. If he was fired for being gay, he has no claim, unless he lived in a state that had such protections, etc.
There may not be a gene for being gay, but there is also no gene for your little finger, either. Or your left leg, because that's not how genes work. Stop using something you don't understand to justify myths spoon-fed to you.
I'd also like to point out to you that there are far more references in the Bible to shellfish being an 'abomination' than there are to being gay. If you take the Bible to be authority, then I guess you're also taking the charge to those darned fishermen and sushi restaurants.
Fantastic! Then please shut the **** up about gays, stop try to get laws passed to make it illegal for them to marry, and mind your own goddamn business.

ROFL, says you. Thousands of other religions disagree.
It is better to present the Gospel in a "friendly, loving way, so people feel they can ask questions, learn, and over time build a relationship with God". But I can't convert anyone. I can only "plant seeds". It's God who waters them and makes them grow (brings them to faith in Jesus).
An even smarter business man knows that supporting an issue that directly relates to a large number of employees, and your own responsibilities towards them, is the truly best way to run a company.
God doesn't exist. He is a made of thing by idiots that had nothing better to do at the time.
"Religion" doesn't save. Jesus does. Religion is man foolishly trying in vein to work their way to God. Biblical Christianity is Jesus coming to us and taking our place on the cross in saving grace so we can freely come to Him as our Saviour. it's a world of difference.
No you have no words from god cause he doesn't exist! What fricking proof do you have of his existence?

No religion Christianity, Christianity and religion. Same ****.
Yes. Unless there is a Christian phone company I don't know about. LOL
Every company supports sin of one form or another cause we're all sinners. No one can escape it as long as they live.
The whole universe is proof of His existence. There is absolutely no way this advanced and complex universe was the result of random chaotic chance. It was clearly designed by God and that is clearly laid out in Genesis 1-2.
It's never going to happen though.
For the same reasons there will never been a white pride parade. (I'm not including the racist KKK parades/gatherings. Those do not count.) A white pride parade would be considered racist by society, and society would consider a heterosexual parade homophobic.
And just to tell you where I stand on this. A person is not born a homosexual, it's a choice. I will not debate this, because debates on the internet never get anywhere.
I will just continue to show love and compassion to all people no matter their race, gender or sexual preference. This is what Jesus has called us to do. Yes there are certain self proclaiming "Christians" who will condemn others because of their beliefs. Westboro Baptist Church is one of the worst offenders. I am not that type of Jesus follower. I love my fellow man no matter what lifestyle they may live, even if I do not agree with it.
So you sin in other ways, but if your life depended on making a one-time choice to show arousal to males, you would choose death instead.
That's all very well, as I sincerely doubt you are capable of having your genitals suddenly start responding to males just because of any "thought/decision/choice" you make.
Yes the US does allow discrimination based on sexual orientation. People think it is illegal but it is not. The Republican congress refuses to bring the Employment Non-Discrimination Act to a vote. It would pass if they did. It already passed the Senate.
Homosexuality is seen in over a hundred species, but homophobia in just one. Hmmm, now look at what seems 'unnatural'....
