Jacob Kersey was told his post defending conservative Christian view of marriage could raise concerns about his ‘objectivity’
“God designed marriage,” Kersey wrote in the post that was flagged by his superiors following “an anonymous complaint,” according to a Jan. 13 letter of notification first reported by the Daily Signal and provided to Fox News Digital. “Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That’s why there’s no such thing as homosexual marriage.”
Kersey wasn’t fired after the investigation, but he said he decided to quit because he was told he could face termination for future social media posts that others find offensive. He said he has spoken with a law firm about possible legal action.
The major also reminded Kersey that same-sex marriage is legal in Georgia and the U.S. following the 2015 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges.
