An Illinois man who has worked for his state’s Social Security offices for 14 years says he’d rather get fired from his job than watch an LGBT-inclusive workplace diversity training video. Hall’s objection to viewing the video, he said, stems from his belief that it violates his religious views. “We haven’t done it for veterans, the disabled, blacks, Hispanics, or anything else.”According to The News-Gazette, Hall was given direct orders on June 2, and again on June 24, to watch the video from his supervisor. The Huffington Post has reached out to the regional Social Security Administration office for comment on the case. “I’m simply trying to live out my life, my faith and be obedient to the will of God.”Watch WCIA’s full report in the video above.
