Amen to that. I think it's a real shame, too. I'm really pissed about it in the sense that here we are in an era where you are not allowed to have your opinions on anything anymore. You are anti-gay ? You're a homophobic biggot and you should die. That's the gist of the message this sends. What if he is homophobic ? Who cares and what does that have anything to do with Mozilla ? People demanding his head with the argument that it's intolerable not to tolerate difference don't know the disservice they did to their movements, because after all, they were intolerant for his difference too. Now, you are not allowed to be "anti-gay". You are not even allowed not to be "pro-gay". You're not pro-gay ? What an ignorant biggot. You're not even allowed to be without an opinion and not give a fuck about what people do with their bodies. Nooo ! You have to agree, or else you're homophobic. Is this freedom of expression ? Is this the liberty these people are calling for ? And this climate pushes you to say things like what you said, as a disclaimer, that you have gay friends, that you're not against it. It tells you a lot about the violence of their opinion. What did he do that was illegal ? There was a project that some people supported and some were against. The pro-gay marriage lobbied and the anti-gay lobbied, or don't they have that right ? Pro-gay donated money, too, and shook hands, and pulled strings, etc. This is akin to (an online debate isn't one until Hitler is brought up) ban Mein Kampf under the argument that Hitler did what he did. What if I fucking want to read it ? Am I a Nazi for that ? What if I like his paintings ? Are we not allowed to think on our own, or are people shareholders of our very own, deepest beliefs ? It's sad. That's also like that Abercrombie and Fitch CEO who was attacked for what he did and say. What if I'm the CEO of a clothes company and I don't fat people to wear my shoes ? What the do you care ! Don't buy my clothes and case closed ! And the only reason you'd be pissed off is if you were fat, in which case you wouldn't be able to buy the frigging clothes in the first place, and you wouldn't buy them if they issued fat sized clothes anyway, so why the fuss. It's a really pathetic moment, people.
