I don't think it's quite the same thing. Boycott Facebook and they have one fewer person's private life to sell to advertisers. Mozilla does not (yet) exist solely as a way to funnel data to a central repository.
Big bro loves facebook and the "cloud". That is how they are creating their facial recognition database. The sheep just keep posting pictures.............
The "gay army" gives gay folks a bad name. They really do. Just shut the hell up but they can't. Always screaming and whining about anything they can find. This is a perfect example of the hysteria they try and throw out.
Yeah, stupid whiny gays. Not wanting to be treated like second-class citizens. Expecting to enjoy the same rights as everyone else. How whiny can you get? You might even call them "uppity".
You can harden your heart all you want. Their agenda won...those against their agenda are losing and losing fast. Opposition is turning out to be pointless. It might make you feel better, but at the end of the day all of this anti gay stuff is proving to be futile.
No one cares if your heart is hardening.
Sure, if their agenda is tyranny of opinion, and destroying people's lives if their opinion differs with yours. If the way you win is thru fear and intimidation, with a fascist-like propaganda campaign of fear and personal destruction against anyone who does not agree with you.
I didn't know every citizen was ever included in the institution of marriage?
by your logic, any polygamist marriage can sue the state because it exclude them from the state definition of marriage of 1 man and 1 woman?
If you think is a "right" then put it in the U.S. constitution....if not, then that's up to the states to define by the people.
I don't have to put it in the Constitution. It's already there. It's there in the due process clause. Unless the state can prove an interest in denying an individual equal treatment under the law, the state is violating that person's Constitutional rights in denying equal treatment under the law.
Because persecution of one person, or one company, is not enough for you?
Because the "persectution" of one rich guy, who's still incredibly rich, doesn't really bother me that much compared to the persecution of millions of people who aren't allowed to marry the people they love.

Why is Eich not entitled to his opinion?
Who ever said he wasn't? He expressed his opinion, and other people expressed theirs. That's how it usually works.

Why not boycott the companies where every other donor of Proposition 8 works?
He wasn't just a "worker", and Mozilla wasn't his "employer".

It's toe the line on gay equality, or we'll take you down. Because our cause is finally winning. And payback is a b i t c h.
Funny how upset some people get just because some other people don't want to live like second-class citizens anymore. Reminds me of something else that happened about fifty years ago.
Really? And what about all the cases of rape in the military? You know, the ones those real he-man military officers kind of slid under the rug. How about all those proud straight guys taking pics with their camera phone under women's dresses? We had a guy get caught taking a pic of a woman trying on a bathing suit in a Target here in MA. Why not focus on these "disgusting" people?
Some of you really need to get a life and stop baiting these threads; then you wonder why we all come out to their defense, and call us members of the "gay army" as if one really exists....how about the army of "common sense," people that have better things to worry about than gays getting a shred of equality, that BTW, won't affect anyone else anyway.
You think "common sense" is whining about the firefox guy donating a thousand dollars six years ago and coming out screaming now? You think that is common sense? No it isn't. It is the "gay army" screaming and the media fanning the flames. That is not "common sense" it is idiocy. You continue to scream though as that appears what you do.
Well, let's get the list of ALL the Proposition 8 donors. And then let's find out who their employers are. And then let's start boycotts against those employers. Because now that our cause is finally winning, it's time for us to do the persecuting.
Eich was CEO, the Grand Poobah, the Big Kahuna. He wasn't just "some employee".

Or it's deterrence. Or it's fighting back. Or it's simply letting people know that you don't want to do business with bigots if you can avoid it.
And they can pick and choose their battles. There's nothing that requires them to go after all or even any of their persecutors.
Maybe if Eich had made a statement of regret, or tried to break bread with them. Maybe they would have forgave and forgot, I dunno.
But I don't feel sorry for him, not in the least. He was living by the sword, he died by the sword. He choose the battles he wanted to fight, right or wrong.
I don't see any evidence that he felt the least bit sorry for all the people's lives he was trying to make miserable. Why should anyone feel sorry for him?
