I think an opinion on gay marriage is a political view.

Additionally, I think a negative opinion on gay marriage is particularly contentious, as opposed to a view on environmental or immigration matters, because it could affects the rights of employees, and additionally it creates a toxic work environment for supporters of gay marriage.

Companies shouldn't stray into the realm of political opinion because their employees do not have homogenous political views.

Nah, sounds a little controversial to me.

1) "opinion on gay marriage is a political view" 2) "Companies shouldn't stray into the realm of political opinion because their employees do not have homogenous political views."

Employees may have - even strong - opinions against gay marriage. But they can't be homogenous?.. So they shouldn't be considered? Or being "particularly contentions (because)" makes them exempt?

Looks like a really complicated subject, don't you think?

Immigration and environmental issues couldn't affect employees?
