They were fire safety leaflets, right? I don't think their personal prejudices should come into play as to whether or not to hand them out. Would they refuse to fight the fire of a gay's home? Perhaps they'd like to go back to marking houses as they did in the old times, marking those which had fire insurance, only this time those owned by someone they revile? If their personal prejudices keep them from doing their jobs then they don't belong in those jobs.
