Andrew Sullivan, himself a gay man, voiced strong disgust on his blog The Dish towards Mozilla Firefox forcing CEO Brandon Eich to resign for having donated $1000.00 to California's Prop 8 campaign in 2008 seeking to ban gay marriage, saying Eich had been "scalped by some gay activists".As ConservativeIntel notes, "Mozilla set a new company record today for online customer dissatisfaction":
If Mozilla was hoping to avoid controversy by edging out former CEO Brendan Eich, the company has most certainly failed. The graph below comes from the feedback page on their site. This chart goes back to when the comment system was adopted, and the highest number of “sad” comments is today, by a factor of about two. The second highest number came yesterday.
Look, I can understand folks supporting gay marriage. I, for one, believe that marriage as a contractual instrument codified in religion or law should be traditional, i.e., between a man and a woman. I mean, human procreation kinda depends upon it, last time I took biology.
Is my opinion controversial? It would seem so, at least in the age of Obama and Gomorrah.
Why would Mozilla inject itself into issues of faith, morality and marriage? I leave the answer to that question as an exercise for the reader.

Because too many in government are increasingly unwilling to defend marriage as God defines it, it is time to return marriage to the private sphere where it came from. Gays can get married but will not be able to force others to approve of it, and will not be able to force others to serve and enable what God defines as sin. If liberals demand that we remove the Ten Commandments from any government venue, they cannot attempt to cling to one of the points of the Ten (marriage) in their attempt to destroy the values they put forth.
In short, where marriage have always been a private matter, there would not been an "Prop 8" and we would not be fighting over defining marriage between men as a "civil right", and those who accepted God's definition of marriage would not be the enemies of those who did not.

I think anyone that is fair-minded understands that forcing Eich out was just wrong. Whether you define your world with religion or otherwise.
The problem is, the states didn't solve the problem quickly enough & should have defined civil unions to be in balance with "marriage". It's too late.
That's all right, we'll get over it. People are going to do what they want to do anyway.
"Same-sex marriage" is a functionless notion, which inherently mocks the institution of marriage -- something homosexuals have been doing ever since society at large learned to tolerate them. But the true irony is this: Homosexuals can "get married" in any state in the Union. They merely have to find:
1) A religious sect that will perform the "marriage;"
2) A community to reside in that will treat them as a married couple.
The real aim of the activists for governmentally-recognized and enforced same-sex marriage is the forcible insertion of homosexuals into places and social circles where they lack access. All other contentions are just hot air.
The only reason government had to be involved with marriage was establishing inheritance when it comes to children. A bastard was a child who had no legal claim to an inheritance due to being born out of wedlock. Through witness of both wedding and birth, one could establish at least that civil acknowledgement as an heir. Over the long haul, this served as a glue that morally bound together society. That so few use any kind of serious reasoning to approach the topic goes to show you we are pretty much toast as a civilization.
The only relationship that can continue a culture comes from a male-female pairing in the traditional marriage.
Oh and one more thing - gay marriage discriminates highly against heterosexual men by placing the burden of support upon them for continuation of the culture without any burden on the homosexual community at all.
Perhaps GOD is wrong and all these gay people are right. Maybe it is a good thing to get sh*t all over your pecker. Hell why not just go ahead and rub sh*t all over your whole body?? Naw guess I will follow GODS advice.
When the folks who supported Eich's ouster remove JavaScript from their computers let me know. After all, this "bigot" invented it, so how dare the activists keep that offending technology around
I've been a Netscape, Firefox, Seamonkey user since the early 90's I've carried over bookmarks and passwords for over 20 years in various incarnations of Mozilla browsers. The task of moving them to a new browser has always deterred me to try a new browser.
That was, until Mozilla fired Eich and wrote that double speak post about how they were all for the free exchange of ideas.
Of course, left unspoken is that the free exchange of ideas must toe the progressive party line.
Apple may support gay marriage, but they haven't fired anyone for participating in the political system. So as of today, Safari is my new browser as I carried over my last passwords a few hours ago.
What should we do about gay marriage?
Can we have states just get out of the marriage business and just make it a civil affair?
