IN the NEWS - Kroger

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God... Romans 8:7 
Was there a demand from the mass public for Kroger to add the gay emblem to their uniform? I think not....so WHY do it Kroger?

"The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing retail giant Kroger for firing two employees who refused to wear a pro-homosexual and pro-transgenderism uniform. The federal agency also sued snack food producer Frito-Lay for religious discrimination.

A Kroger store in Conway, Arkansas had “implemented a new dress code, which included an apron depicting a rainbow-colored heart emblem on the bib of the apron,” according to an EEOC press release. Two women were fired after stating that the emblem supported and endorsed homosexuality and transgenderism, arguing that it violated their religious beliefs.

The EEOC also sued Frito-Lay, which is part of PepsiCo and owns brands such as Doritos, Tostitos, and Lay’s, for religious discrimination.

According to the lawsuit, “a West Palm Beach Frito-Lay warehouse employee applied for and received a promotion to route sales representative. The employee completed approximately five weeks of training without having to train on Saturdays. However, despite learning he could not work on Saturdays because of his Seventh-day Adventist religious beliefs, Frito-Lay scheduled him to train on Saturdays and terminated him after he failed to report to training on two consecutive Saturdays.”
EEOC regional attorney Robert Weisberg emphasized that any employer, including Frito-Lay, “is obligated to accommodate an employee’s religious beliefs, for example, by providing a schedule change, when it would cause no undue hardship. For an employer to only schedule the worker to work on Saturdays when it knows he cannot due to his religious beliefs violates federal law.”
