Anyone can have "unfashionable" opinions. It's just that they can't also dictate how other people react to those opinions.

There's nothing more libertarian than holding people accountable by exercising free association, or in this case, freedom to not associate.

Do you think it's good for a democracy if someone's career is limited by their political beliefs?

Keep in mind too, these aren't fringe political beliefs. It's generally accepted in non-western countries that men and women are different, for example, yet somehow that's a fireable offense here.
