Eich contributed financially to actively discriminate against people based on an attribute they cannot change, just like gender or race.
Those of us "discriminating" against Eich are doing so based on his voluntary behavior.
You are suggesting a false equivalence.
- sehr 13y agoattribute they cannot change, just like gender or race Again, look at it from another point of view. There is a reason there are Christian 'conversion' camps, these people simply don't see it as being set in stone.
- parasubvert 13y agoSure, one could look at it from that point of view. And decide it was a vile, destructive view and to help those victimized by such a barbaric, anti-Christian (speaking as a lapsed Catholic!) notion. I can understand a point of view and even support one's freedom to practice it (by the government), but I also can do everything in my legal power to make sure those views are marginalized and the damage they inflict minimized. Which is no less than what anti-gay marriage folks have been doing. And losing the battle, I might add.
- coldpie 13y agoSure, and we could bleach skin or perform surgery to alter other characteristics of people. And yet, discrimination based on physical characteristics is illegal.
