Yes and if that punishment is way ott compared to other sanctions dished out recently for similar behaviour I don't think it a problem to question it.
Also we as citizens keep having it drummed into us that we have to respect everyone and be tolerant, until this guy messes up that is, then tolerance goes straight out of the window and the only possible way for it to be resolved is if he's sacked, if we really gave a toss about homophobia we'd make sure he was either better educated or given some advice on taste and decency before showing him the door at least.

You have rights but if you bring bad publicity to your employer don't be surprised if they want to let go you. Andy Gray and Richard Keys found that out

Those two had a long history of it and probably deserved to be punished harsher but that said it looked like a convenient way of getting rid of them which I suspect they were going to do regardless.
