Earlier thos week I posted the story about Allstate. you can read it here. Thanks to all who responded!
Thousands of e-mails are pouring into Allstate after a lawsuit was filed against the insurance giant by a former employee who alleges he was terminated because he wrote a column posted on several websites that was critical of same-sex marriage and espoused his Christian beliefs.
J. Matt Barber was a manager in Allstate's Corporate Security Division, its investigative arm, at the Fortune 100 company's headquarters in Northbrook, Ill. On his own time, he has written several columns published on the Internet at sites such as TheConservativeVoice.com and MensNewsDaily.com.
Barber posted a column in December that was critical of same-sex marriage and the practice of homosexuality. One version of the column ID'd Barber in the bio-line as an employee of Allstate even though he did not submit the piece with that information.
After Allstate – which financially supports homosexual advocacy groups – received a complaint about the column, Barber was fired and escorted off the company's property Feb. 3. On May 26, with the help of the Christian Law Association and David Gibbs III, who represented Terri Schiavo's family in the final weeks of her life, Barber filed a lawsuit against Allstate in federal court. The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys' fees.
If you would like to email Allstate you may do so here.
