> Contrast this with an employee who refused to make a sales call to someone who is gay, because that client is gay. Would you say that that employee should receive the same amount of tolerance and sensitivity as the one who was afraid of flying?

To make it even more complex, what about the employee who refuses to make a solo sales call to someone who is the opposite gender, for religious reasons? At a dinner meeting for example.

What level of accommodation, if any, should society demand for this salesperson?

What if the salesperson is LGBT and refused to make a sales call to an anti-LGBT organization?

Should society demand both these salespeople to be given the same level of accommodation?
