Mr. Mills:

I do not wish to belabor a point covered in another post, but an
employer can legally fire an employee for engaging in pedophilia, an
illegal activity.  In may states, sodomy is also an illegal act.
(NOTE: I am making NO connection, whatsoever, between pedophilia and
sodomy, other than that they are both illegal acts in many states).
This gives a very real precedence for such personnel actions.  You
might want to first try to change the laws that make some of your
activities illegal before climbing too high on a soapbox.  Oh, and,
Good Luck!
