You assume there was no effort by Cisco. As far as I can tell the company has not made a public statement about this. You trust one side with an obvious agenda while you should wait until the whole story comes out.

Check this nuanced and thoughtful post on a gay blog: http://www.queerty.com/cisco-systems-fired-dr-turek-for-the-2010-anti-gay-articles-that-he-never-mentioned-fair-20110617/. Much more tolerant than most of the stuff I read hear. I would be surprised if there isnt more to the story than Dr Turek presented. We will have to wait and see what the courts say. Assuming Turek files suit, which I'm sure he will given how unfairly he claims to have been treated. In the mean time I'm sure this will do wonders for his anti-gay campaign. Ps Webmaster: why do you need my mailing address when registering? And, the number of ads, etc on this sight make it a slow and almost unbearable experience.
