Yes indeed. We'll be lucky when we get back to the '50s. The 1850s!

Right-wingers act like this CEO was forced out by the government. He was forced out by the bad publicity Mozilla would rather not have.
SO, your logic is, the senators of cali are NOT public figures, what about obama?

I sincerely hope you switch to Chrome. Google employee contributions involving Prop 8 were 96% against it. How about Safari? Apple was 94% against it. So here we have evidence that three of four browsers with the largest market share are made by companies that overwhelmingly support gay rights. If you use IE, you're taking your life into your own hands.

Opera is made by a Norwegian company. Same-sex marriage is legal in Norway.

Go ahead and try to find a browser (or any significant software, really) made by a company that supports homophobia. See if you can find one.

p.s. Lynx doesn't count

Renault, magnifique!

This line from the article, " The Liberal Gulag", takes the cake - in a mobs of the French Revolution sense, so to speak.

The Left’s most energetic foot soldiers today are MFA dropouts who are too stupid to tell a genuine Sarah Palin quote from a Tina Fey line and spend their idle afternoons (one gets the feeling there is a surplus of them) sharing Snopes-discredited political memes on Facebook and discussing last night’s Jon Stewart show.

With a plentitude of jobs available at McD's, KFC and so forth, one would think they could part their partial degrees to work. Lot's of filthy grease to go around. Chic-Fil-A, of course, has higher standards, so no need for them to apply.

Gay contrarian Andrew Sullivan anticipates the likely future. “Why not the stocks?” he asks. “The whole episode disgusts me – as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – then count me out.”
Many free browser alternatives to Mozilla here.

If you're a web designer and think you need Mozilla to test compatibility consider browsershots.org — great tool.

So anybody that supports traditional marriage in a legal state referendum should be fired? .....I guess Hillary Clinton can't be president, she supported DOMA and traditional marriage until recently and so did Obama and Bill Clinton..............there is a lot of hypocrisy here.

He wasn't fired. He stepped down.

And if Hillary Clinton, Obama and Bill Clinton still espoused their previously politically expedient points of views, then yes, they would be rightfully chastised these days.


Strom Thurmond, for example, was an old Dixiecrat who once supported segregation. Not sure if he took that point of view to his grave, but I would like to think he eventually got over that point of view.

Good point, chucksnee. The Mozilla CEO gave the donation to the Prop 8 pac years ago when President Obama was also still against gay marriage. What about that, gays?

Interesting I must say I agree I will be damned if I am going to have anyone like these jerks
thinking they can ruin someone for something they did privately 6 years ago!
These people have more hate I think than the race baiters~
they wanted legal marriage, great, they got it
but now if everyone is not waving rainbow flags they want to destroy them
I can not stand folks who bully
even several people who have been out spoken for gay marriage are speaking out
I say bring it on!!
I'm going to boycott the entire state of Georgia because this post is hard to read.

BOYCOT EVERYTHING - THEY WERK!!!
