Your company was approached by the lesbian and gay association formed by a small group of employees.

They asked the company to let them celebrate "Gay Pride" during the week in June when this is usually "celebrated."

The company agreed.

The LGBT group used the employee notice board to post pictures of same-sex couples, of transsexuals, of same-sex couples raising children - along with rainbow flags and slogans such as "Gay is Good" and two posters: one showed three men, and had the caption, "He's gay - and that's cool with us." There was the same type of poster featuring three women. The implicit message was that gays are like everybody else.

Another employee - a committed Christian -- posted on the same employee notice board the following:

"Leviticus 20:13"

A gay employee looked up the reference in her Bible. It says:

"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

The gay woman complained to her supervisor. The supervisor spoke to the man. He said gay sex was a sin and he had an obligation to urge lesbian and gays to repent or they would be condemned to eternal damnation.  

He said the employer had to accommodate his sincere religious beliefs. The Christian employee said they could correct the issue by either by 1) removing his Bible citation AND the "gay pride" material, or 2) allowing both points of view to be expressed.

He said forcing him to be exposed to messages like "gay is good" violated his religious beliefs, and said he would sue.

The supervisor comes to you and asks, "What do I do?"

Does the recent case of Hobby Lobby have any bearing on this scenario?
