A Christian man who was fired from AT&T Broadband because he refused to sign a diversity policy requiring him to "value" the beliefs of others, including homosexuals, has been awarded $150,000 in a religious discrimination suit.

Put me down as not "valuing" beliefs that contradict my own. I respect the right of people to have contradictory beliefs . . . am a proud veteran who served to protect those rights . . . but don't ask me to value them. To value them, by my dictionary, means to accept them as valid . . . and the last I checked, we still have the right to our own beliefs.
The law does limit how we act on those beliefs, but that's an entirely different topic. Mandating beliefs, as AT&T apparently was attempting to do, is pure discrimination.
