The ground that I have to stand on is my belief that all men are created equal. It's obvious that I don't support the views of those who hate us. But I do support their right to those views. That's how freedom works.

I understand what you mean. If I ran a day care for children, I would not hire a convicted child molester for obvious reasons. His past criminal record would be too great of a risk and the stigma would cost me my business. Plus, a child molestation conviction puts his mental and emotional health into question.
If I owned a business in California, would I hire a person who helped organize the campaign to support Prop 8? That would depend on their criminal record, background, qualifications, skills, education, dependability, and how well they work with others.
I think to deny someone employment for no other reason than because their views of the world don't match mine would be very unfair.
