Gay Hands: The Allstate Case Goes to Court

The facts in the case of Mr Barber and Allstate are coming to light slowly.
Last Month Matt Barber was fired from allstate for writing an article against sodomites. A lot of people fired off letters to allstate, myself included. However the response caused confusion for some and outrage for others.

AFA ( American Family Association) has been following the case closely. Here are the facts so far.

• The State of Illinois (Department of Employment Security) conducted a thorough investigation into Allstate's actions and ruled, without equivocation, in favor of Mr. Barber. The investigation determined: "The claimant (Mr. Barber) was discharged from Allstate Insurance Company because an outside organization had complained about an article he had written while on his own time."
• The State's investigation further concluded that Allstate intentionally chose to terminate Barber's employment for writing the article despite the fact that he engaged in no misconduct whatsoever: "The term misconduct means the deliberate and willful violation of a reasonable rule or policy of the employer…In this case, the claimant's action which resulted in his discharge was not deliberate and willful." This determination, issued March 8, 2005, was not appealed by Allstate. To see the official document,
• On May 26, 2005, Attorney David Gibbs III of the Christian Law Association filed suit in federal court against Allstate Insurance Company on behalf of Mr. Barber. He had been employed as a manager in the corporate security division at the company's Chicago area headquarters. The case, No. 05-cv-03152, has been assigned to Judge Amy St. Eve, and an initial case status hearing is scheduled for July 20, 2005.

The firing of Mr. Barber is in keeping with Allstate's promotion of the homosexual agenda including homosexual marriage. A few examples:

• · Gave $10,000 to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), a homosexual organization which promotes homosexual marriage.
• · Supports homosexual websites with advertising dollars
• Gave $5,000 to the Indiana University office of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services.
• Gave $15,000 to the Gay & Lesbian Center in Los Angeles
