IKEA risks boycott in Poland after an employee claims to have been fired because of his views on homosexuality and sexual minorities, national Swedish broadcaster SVT reported.

The man reportedly published “homophobic messages” on IKEA’s intranet in connection with IKEA’s corporate event to support LGBT rights on International Day against homo-, bi- and transphobia in May. Parts of the “LGBT-hostile” message were reportedly direct Bible quotes.

IKEA urged him to remove the posts and when he refused, he was fired.

The man explained that he is a devout Catholic and that that he cannot share the company’s values. He described himself as “shaken” and argued that he had been the victim of religious discrimination.
