Against gay marriage. Any number of polls would show you the trajectory since 2004, through 2008, to today.

They may have not discussed this in 6th grade social studies in 2008, though, so maybe you missed it.

If the gay radicals have their way, unless you agree with them, straight up and down, then they will do all in their power to ruin your life. They won't even allow you to serve in political office or start a business, or open a coffee shop, or health food store.

What is special about this particular incident was that it wasn't actually a boycott, as everyone keeps claiming. What happened was a guy at a small website, OK Cupid -- and it is small, despite the claims that it's a "major player" in online dating -- decided to make some publicity for his company with a threatened (not even actual) boycott. Mozilla immediately caved, but not due to any real or anticipated harm to itself. AFTER this all occurred, everyone found out about it. In other words, the "boycott" ended before anyone knew about it. Nobody here can honestly say they knew about this while it was happening.


So what happened is that Mozilla wanted an excuse to do something liberal, OK Cupid wanted publicity, and the two got together.

Me 1, you 0.
Ummm homosexuality doesn't cause high suicide rates nor drug use. Homosexuality just means someone who is attracted to the same sex. Pedophilia harms children in every society. The problem with pedophilia is just that children are getting hurt. In some places society is the sole purpose of high suicide rates in homosexuals. People in society telling us that we're demons or deserve to be stranded on an island just to die and all the other abuse we receive. Your response is very incorrect.

I'll explain it again

Pedophilia hurts children in every society.

Homosexuality doesn't harm anyone. It's not just me saying it.

If you don't think so explain it to me and everyone in this thread. I'm here to learn

PS you haven't won anything on this thread. It's not a game. No need to be rude and immature

That's basically just you saying so. In other words, if there are problems with homosexuality, then it's because of society. If there are problems with pedophiles or the kids they have sex with, then it's because of the pedophilia. Reason? Just because.

Because it mentally and sometimes physically harms children. Everybody can see it but you. So according to your logic, children are harmed by pedophiles because of society?

No not every problem with homosexuality is caused by society. But things like suicide are. Nobody decides to commit to suicide because homosexual urges told them to do so.

All you're doing here is repeating your argument.

Like I said, you're just arguing arbitrarily.

Because it's not getting through you. It's not my fault you don't understand. I love how you avoided my question. I answered yours but I'm arguing arbitrarily?

Purity is not a problem for a political faction or party; indeed, I argue that purity is beneficial in politics.
The problem here is applying political purity standards to companies, whose purpose generally (and this includes Mozilla) is to make money and/or to operate in a particular field unrelated to politics or government.

To illustrate the point, what if it was a new DNC chairman or the head of MoveOn who was put off the job because of opposition to gay marriage in 2008 instead of a Mozilla CEO? That wouldn't be nearly as disturbing.
