No I don't believe anyone should be fired on the basis of their sexual orientation.

What employment rights do gay and lesbian employees have? Can you be fired for being gay? Presently there are no federal laws that provide protections for employees on the basis of their sexual orientation. Since 1993 various form and versions of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has been pending in congress. The ENDA would ban employment discrimination based on an individual's sexual orientation. The bill provides protection from discriminatory hiring, firing, promotion or compensation practices, as well as retaliation for reporting such practices. However, this legislation has not cleared the hurdles of congress and became law.
Presently there are 22 states and the District of Columbia that have enacted laws that ban employment discrimination based solely on a person’s sexual orientation. Although, each state’s laws are different each one provides some basic protection from being fired or terminated for being gay. The states that have such laws are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Nevada
