Best Buy employee Enis Sujak was fired from his job after a recording of a conversation he had with a superior about LGBT symbols in the office was leaked to the public.

In the recording, Sujak asked his manager, Michael Hirsch, why rainbow flags were allowed in the office even as Bibles and crosses were not allowed. Sujak had walked out of an employee meeting about the history of the LGBT movement prior to the conversation. “Let’s have the cross all over,” suggested Sujak. “Why don’t we have Christian stuff all over?”

His manager replied that Christians had a choice to believe in their religion and claimed that LGBT individuals did not have a choice in their sexual preferences. Sujak, a Christian and an immigrant from Serbia, then spoke with his manager for over an hour about which symbols are appropriate in the workplace.

Sujak’s employment was terminated after he shared his story and a video with reporter James O’Keefe circulated on social media. Sujak later created a GiveSendGo fundraising campaign so that he could retain a constitutional attorney and take legal action against Best Buy.

“My ability to help and serve customers with electronic repairs and the sexual orientation of my colleagues have nothing in common,” he wrote. “In fact, sexuality has no place in the workplace, and forcing me to subject myself to conduct that I believe constitutes a sin while taking me away from serving my former employer’s customers is simply unacceptable: in fact, it’s unlawful.”

Best Buy states in their equal opportunity policy that they do not discriminate on the basis of creed or religion, as well as sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Sujak nevertheless claims that he was fired due to religious discrimination.

“In no way have I ever argued that anyone who differs in religion, gender, or sex should be treated differently,” he continued. “Rather, all I wanted was to be treated the same as them, and have my beliefs respected equally.”
