Thomas Banks, a contract engineer from Ypsilanti, Michigan, is suing Ford Motor Company for a wrongful termination in August 2014 after he made comments critical of homosexuality.

The lawsuit against Ford and Rapid Global Business Solutions alleges that the companies violated laws prohibiting religious discrimination when Banks responded negatively to a corporate announcement about making Ford a more LGBT friendly company. RGBS is a contract employment company that placed Banks in a position at Ford that he held for several years.

The suit claims that Ford invited Banks to comment by circulating an article on its in house Intranet that offered a place for employees to give feedback. According to the Detroit Free Press Banks was fired after violating Ford’s anti-harassment policy. Banks purportedly called homosexuality “immoral” and accused the company of “promoting sodomy.”

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission declined to review his complaint for wrongful termination, forcing Banks to go forward with his lawsuit.

“For this Ford Motor Company should be thoroughly ashamed,” Banks wrote in the Ford comment section. “Endorsing and promoting sodomy is of benefit to no one. This topic is disruptive to the workplace and is an assault on Christians and morality, as well as antithetical to our design and our survival. Immoral sexual conduct should not be a topic for an automotive manufacturer to endorse or promote.”

Banks added that heterosexual behavior “creates life — homosexual behavior leads to death.”

Mitch Albom, a popular columnist and media figure, asked on his radio show: “If you don’t want people to complain about something, why are you having a comment section?”

Banks, a Christian, claims he was fired without warning and was not allowed to discuss the matter with Ford officials. He adds his comments stem from his religious beliefs.
