Now you'll tell me how calling it gay "marriage" destroys your marriage.

I have such a hard time getting the anti-gay crowd to answer when I ask for specific examples of the terrible effects that will have on their marriages. Perhaps you can elucidate.

Here you go:

The "winning side" may very well also go after Intel.

Intel could be next target for pro-gay marriage campaigners - TechEye

That means dumping their iPhones, iPads, Macs, etc. Apple uses Intel processors.

Do you think they will do so? Or are they just a bunch of hypocrites, as many of us suspect?

I've never had an issue with firefox. Miltant gay loons will not force me to change my preference. Hey they can run IE or chrome. Good for them. lol

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.

Why is Eich not entitled to his opinion? Why not boycott the companies where every other donor of Proposition 8 works? Let's get the list of every one of those private individuals who donated, and let's start a boycott of every one of their employers? That'll show those bigots, right? We'll teach them to think differently from the rest of us. 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.

I see what you're saying but I have to disagree with you.

This isn't about having a private opinion.

Eich was trying to screw over a bunch of people, and he ended up getting screwed over in return.

He has no basis to complain.

But it's the audacity and hypocrisy of it all that gets me, as if they're the victims here. They cry about how unfair it is when the people they've been campaigning against begin to campaign back against them.

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
Why do you care what your browsers company does? Hey what if google hires a guy who get's outed as a "homophobe" Will you shut down your PC and go away? Hopefully because anyone who is as stupid as this needs to go away.

Believe what you like. But when you try to force those beliefs on others, as Mr. Eich did, you run into the consequences of your own ugly behavior.

So, it's payback.

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.
