A Florida man says he was fired for something he posted about his dog on Facebook.
Ryan Uhler from Cape Coral says he was inspired by the recent Supreme Court decision on gay marriage.
"Gay marriage was passed in all 50 states and I thought it be funny to post a picture of me and the dog," says Uhler.
It was the caption, "How is marrying a dog different if you love them?
"Today, I hope we can focus on doggy style love. I love my dog rocco, and he loves me. Hopefully one day we can be married...", that got him into trouble. Uhler says he was fired over it. He says his employers at Grace Advisory Group in Fort Myers didn't find it funny and fired him. Uhler said: "What happened was, they took it out of context."
Trial lawyer, Scot Goldberg said the company is justified.
"I think going to the point where they're firing someone is a little bit
over the line. I think they have the ability to do that in the legal
recourse to do it."
Goldberg adds Florida is an "at will" state meaning employers don't need
to give a reason for firing without notice.
"Today, I hope we can focus on doggy style love. I love my dog rocco, and he loves me. Hopefully one day we can be married...", that got him into trouble. Uhler says he was fired over it.
