January 23rd, 2013

Recently we reported that an employee of the music venue Rocketown in Nashville, Tennessee was fired for sporting Hostage Calm‘s ‘I Support Same Sex Marriage’ shirt. I imagine in light of public outrage seen in the last 24 hours the venue decided to issue a statement on the situation. You can see what they had to say by checking below.

If you want to show your support by wearing the same shirt you can purchase them here. Let’s just hope you don’t work somewhere where you can get fired for wearing it.

Rocketown does not comment on personnel issues, but, generally speaking, an employee would not be fired for expressing opinions on marriage.

At Rocketown we are welcoming and accepting of all youth. We reach out to all kids, are inclusive and very much care about acceptance of youth from different ethnicities, sexual orientations, financial backgrounds and religions. Our mission is to provide a safe and drug-free environment where kids are welcomed, accepted and loved.
