Sometimes opinions flow seamlessly from a person's identity.

What if a gay principal is fired for supporting gay marriage. What if someone is a religious pacifist and the ballot issue had to do with gun control? Are those just opinions or is there no other option for a person given his or her identity?

I'd even go so far as to say that sometimes opinions are core to someone's identity. As in, the person would be fundamentally different if that opinion changed.

I'm not sure the issue is so cut-and-dry as you presume.

All I'm pointing out is that they're fundamentally different. Sexual orientation is something you're born with. Opinions can be changed. Neither should be grounds for termination. What are we arguing about here?
