Thinking gay marriage shouldn't be legal is not "conservative", it's plain discriminating. Denying abortions to others is a bit muddier, but somewhat similar - forcing your own, not universally accepted moral code on others isn't exactly the nicest thing to do after all.
I don't know much about ACA, so can't say anything about it.
With those three out of sight, I'm really interested in what kind of discrimination people in SFBA tech that are religious or dislike welfare face.
> Thinking gay marriage shouldn't be legal is not "conservative", it's plain discriminating
While I certainly agree it shouldn't be illegal, there is a long history of religious opposition to this that I don't think it's so simple to hand wave away. Just because we feel strongly that we are obviously in the right, doesn't absolve us from understanding why someone might feel a certain way.
> Denying abortions to others is a bit muddier
This one goes beyond muddy into clear political territory. For every one person you find that sees pro-life as "denying abortions" you'll find someone who see it as "denying murder". Pushing this debate into the workplace seems beyond a bad idea.
> I don't know much about ACA
As someone who's premiums more than doubled after the ACA, I think it's fair to say its value is debatable and no one should be fired for sitting on either side of that debate.

Everyone feels they are living to their own moral code. There is no universally accepted standard, but firing/shaming/blacklisting people for their beliefs is wrong (according to my own moral code).

While I have not personally voiced the following opinion I have not because it could easily be called racist. I think the thing that would most improve the prospects of African Americans in the US is that they only have children after being married after 3+ years. Other changes need to be made but that would have a massive positive impact in the next 20-40 years.
Second, read about why David Gudeman was fired. He is the other named party in Jame Damore's lawsuit. He was fired for suggesting that a coworker's interaction with the FBI was not for being Muslim but for other reasons.
