A Canadian bus driver has said he would rather quit his job than drive a rainbow painted bus.
The City of Calgary introduced the new rainbow bus to celebrate the city’s Pride parade. The bus will rotate through different routes in Calgary in the build-up to its Pride parade Sept.7, reports Pink News.
Driver Jesse Rau claimed that driving the bus would be promoting a lifestyle he “can’t condone” and would be against his Christian faith.
Rau told CTV, “I’m concerned that if I say that this bus is against my beliefs that I might not have a job.
“I’m a Christian so, as a Christian, there are things like homosexuality that I just can’t condone. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, the accusation is that you hate the person.”
Calgary Transit, unlike some Kentucky officials, has affirmed that drivers can’t just refuse to do their job because a bus has rainbows on it.
thus the term Christophobia is more surreal than homophobia.
