It means Brendan Eich is opposed to same sex marriage: Brendan doesn't believe that same sex couples should have equal rights as opposite sex couples. There's something about equality that deeply disturbs and confuses Brendan, so much that he donated a large amount of money to the cause of tearing apart families by destroying legally married loving couple's existing same sex marriages in California, while Brendan and his own opposite-sex wife enjoyed all the benefits of marriage themselves. Brendan Eich believes that his own marriage is greater than, not equal to, same sex marriages of lesser people.

  Biden, Obama and Clinton were against same sex marriage until they "supposedly" switched. You can't judge a person based on what's reported on them. Have you read or talked to Brendan about why he thinks and why he thinks it? Being against same sex marriage does not necessarily mean he thinks same sex couple are lesser people or that he's greater than them, it means he has an opinion, people with means and opinions use their means to argue for their opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that. Your idea of equality are skewed by popular mainstream media. We should not strive for equality because life is not equal, but we should strive for fairness. If you want equality between me and an NBA basketball player you'll have to break their legs or something because I can't play basketball if my life depended on it, so there, that's an example of life's natural inequality, which is fair. Fairness means equality of opportunity, not the equality of outcome. Arguing for the equality of outcome is tyrannical and pure evil.

    >Fairness means equality of opportunity, not the equality of outcome. Arguing for the equality of outcome is tyrannical and pure evil. Equal rights means equal opportunity though, not equal outcomes.

    Glad you brought that up. Let me point out that Biden, Obama, and Clinton switched from bad to good. That's called evolving. Trump used to be pro-gay, but then switched from good to bad, selling out gays to get elected. That's called devolving. I prefer people who evolve like Biden, Obama, and Clinton did, instead of devolve like Trump did, by selling out to haters in exchange for political power. As far as I know (and I've asked people who've known him for a long long time), Brendan has always been badly against gay marriage, with no plans of ever evolving or apologizing or even explaining himself. And yes I've asked Brendan himself about it, and he outright refuses to explain or justify or apologize for either his hateful opinions or his hateful actions that hurt other people. Brendan Eich went way beyond simply holding an opinion when he purposefully contributed money to the campaign to tear apart other people's marriages and destroy their families. Brendan's money paid for TV commercials blasting lies, stereotypes, prejudices, and attacks against gay people. Brendan's goals were satisfied: Proposition 8 passed, and marriages were destroyed because of his support, thanks to the anti-gay propaganda campaign he helped fund. Brendan Eich knew quite well what he was doing by supporting Proposition 8, and he totally meant to do it, and he has never apologized or evolved, or even "argued his opinion" as you falsely claim he uses his means to do. He never even meant for his opinion to be known, let alone argued for it in pubic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_8 But I strongly suspect he isn't thrilled that GamerGate and Alt-Right have made him their unwitting hero and martyr and poster child, and that they keep spreading the lie that Brendan was fired from Mozilla because of cancel culture, when Brendan actually resigned of his own free will, and Brendan has said repeatedly himself he resigned and was not pushed out, and the Mozilla board said "Brendan voluntarily submitted his resignation", and the board actually begged him to stay, and this is all very well documented and not contested except by batshit crazy conspiracy theorists. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/faq-on-ceo-resignation/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/faq-on-ceo-resignation/ >Q: Was Brendan Eich fired? >A: No, Brendan Eich resigned. Brendan himself said: >“I have decided to resign as CEO effective April 3rd, and leave Mozilla. Our mission is bigger than any one of us, and under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader. I will be taking time before I decide what to do next.” >Brendan Eich also blogged on this topic. https://brendaneich.com/2014/04/the-next-mission/ https://brendaneich.com/2014/04/the-next-mission/ >Q: Was Brendan Eich asked to resign by the Board? >A: No. It was Brendan’s idea to resign, and in fact, once he submitted his resignation, Board members tried to get Brendan to stay at Mozilla in another C-level role.
