The truth of Christianity seems to offend a lot of people. If they did not want to hear his Christian views they should not have asked him about what he thought was sin.

Another question I have is this.... If this gentleman had spoken his thoughts let's say 50 years ago as he did here about his own opinion on this subject and was on a TV show than as he is with A&E now, would this have happend then?

I would have said even the good that we do is sin in the eyes of God.

The people asking the questions did want to hear his views
his employers didn't!
And this story has nothing to do with Christianity.
(Except that his religion may have contributed to his bigotry)

Probably not.
But 50 years ago the Civil Rights Act had not been enacted.
Want to go back to those days?

What's your point?
Want to go back to the good ol' days?
300 years ago?
Witch burning?

This country is supposed to be one that anyone can practise this "freedom of speach" with their own views of life but when they do it, they are penalized.
The free speech amendment protects speech from unjustified government interference.

So is living ones own chosen lifestyle progress? Is any life style ok as long as it's what that person or a group of people want?

I agree but a person has no right to express his opinion without repercussions in just everyday life such as with a religious view in mind especially when he was asked for it?

If any life style people chose were OK, people of your religion wouldn't be persecuted.
