“free speech”.

As long as the speech is anti-gay, of course. Otherwise it’s free speech for me but not for thee, at least at

the Tucson company Vante.

Adam Smith,  Chief Financial Officer at Vante, on his own personal time and with no connection to

his employer, Vante, took it upon himself to video his protest of chick fil a as “hateful” and post

the video to youtube.

Vante issued the statement:

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner.

Mr. Smith’s actions were described as “bullying”, but I confess that I can’t find any bullying in his protest.

You can judge for yourself here:

What you think may depend upon the side you are on, but there is no doubt what side Vante is on.

That “free speech” is such a tricky thing, it seems.
