You're the manager. You're not there to be liked so write someone up as you see fit.
Seems like everyone over reacted to what was said. Disagreeing over same sex marriage is in no way offensive IMO. Far more sensitive and blunt things are said at my job every day.
For future reference, when faced with a new, challenging incident like this, it might be best to contact your HR employee relations team, or whatever they are called there for advice before acting.
Ah, yes. A manager who writes up otherwise good employees on whims and emotions and wonders why they don't like you or want to work for you. I've dealt with that exact thing and absolutely I started looking for a new job immediately. Life is too short to work under toxic leadership. Scratch that, this is not even a good example of leadership. Toxic management rather.
A manager can make or break a place.
I agree with you 100 percent my last job we had a toxic manager that started and she was just toxic lazy and never learn the job and had her favorite people. I was called into the office twice and heard buzz she was after me from a few good sources. I went to a job fair and got a new job the same day and waited for the offer and drug test and gladly put my notice in and she can't keep people at all.
Edit: My employee didn't end up quitting. Instead, she continued working. However, I'm so disgusted that I have to work with employee B that I tell all the customers on the sales floor about this employee and that I should've fired her. Then fast forward three weeks later, on Monday, one my sales leads comes up to me and tells me that the day before that employee B told employee A that she can't discuss speculating other people's sexuality and talking about sex acts because that is sexual harassment. Then employee A comes up to me and tells me her concerns that employee B is massively overstepping. Employee B goes to two other sales associates and says on the sales floor that they shouldn't be discussing inappropriate topics on the sale floor, and she says this in front of customers. Everyone came up to me with concerns that they'll be written up for harassment, and I have to say to them that they won't and they have nothing to be afraid about because they haven't done or said anything wrong.
Employee B is seriously overstepping her boundaries by ordering people because she isn't a sales lead and isn't a manager. I'm thinking to myself, do I have to write her up again to stop her from harassing her coworkers? I'm at the end of my rope with this associate. I then fire this associate because she's harassing everyone, causing drama with everyone, and making everyone scared that they're going to be written up/fired for nonexistent issues. I told everyone that people can discuss politics as long as everyone is in agreement. This employee needs a wake up call that they're wrong that the LGBTQ+ community doesn't deserve rights! People like that deserve to be fired and their careers destroyed!
I would suggest not harassing any employees further.
I'm not the one harassing. Employee B is. It's all Employee B's fault for making them scared to report her to me a year prior. You clearly don't know how to read.

So really, Employee B is sick of people talking about sex, some of it apparently gay sex, on the sales floor so you fire her. You say you support LGBT but you also support your employees speculating about other LGBT employees and their sex lives?
No one in their right mind wants to talk about sex while at work unless it is their job or related to their job. You seem like a weird manager who enjoys hearing about that stuff.
Oh and then you tell customers about this?!? Wouldnlove to see your sales number that week/month. You are a bad manager, clearly. Look up “professional “.
