No they absolutely didn't. They evolved from supporting "civil unions" to supporting out and out marriage, and that's about it. I agree that backing civil unions instead of full blown marriage was political cowardice, but there's a big difference between that and actively contributing funds to Proposition 8.Those two absolutely campaigned on the "between one man and one woman" idea when it was convenient to do so. So they're off the hook because they didn't specifically mention Prop 8 or give it money?
loli like how people aren't allowed to have an opinion
i like how firefox is suddenly a worse product because one of the people working there might believe in magic faries
i also like how people don't realize how close minded they are being for this whole thing
btw guys, people who invented the internet might've been against gay marriage, since it wasn't a popular opinion back then. you guys should stop using the internet. i'm pretty sure many inventors behind products you use everyday were against it as well. might want to live the woods from now on, since you can't really tell which products are safe
hes dead so he cant advocate that anymore so nowould you guys stop using toilet paper if the person who invented it was against gay marriage. just wondering

Your post was a piece of shit.
Then he'd be called a racist? Being a racist doesn't prevent you from having a job.
its fun seeing your logic in other threadswould you guys stop using toilet paper if the person who invented it was against gay marriage. just wondering
would you guys stop using toilet paper if the person who invented it was against gay marriage. just wondering

<<While Democratic presidential nominee and U.S. Senator, Barack Obama stated that while he personally considered marriage to be between a man and woman,[93] and supported civil unions that confer comparable rights rather than gay marriage,[94] he opposed "divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution... the U.S. Constitution or those of other states."[95] Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joseph Biden also opposed the proposition.[96]>>Everybody calling for this guy's career to be over because of a political donation that he made six years ago in support of a proposition that embodied the official political stance of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
Because it's not an equivalent situation.
What if Eich had donated to a white supremacist cause?
Either side of the issue isn't equivalent.
That's the point.
he needs to stick to complaining about mmrits fun seeing your logic in other threads
Go watch some of the Democratic debates, buddy.
No, because I need toilet paper to wipe up that post you just made.would you guys stop using toilet paper if the person who invented it was against gay marriage. just wondering
Why not? He has just as much right to have an opinion on the issue as you do. I disagree with his opinion, but I think taking away his right to have one isn't fair.
Then that's his choice to, and as long as he doesn't let it change how he runs his company that's his personal choice. There's a difference between what he does in his private life and what he does leading the company, and I think that's an important distinction. He could be an awful person in his own personal life, but that should only affect how you view him, not how you think he can perform his job.

No.Go watch some of the Democratic debates, buddy.
In October of 2000, Clinton made clear in response to a question from a gay voter that she did back civil unions -- implemented in Vermont that fall.
2004 LESS CONCERNED ABOUT MARRIAGE: In an interview with the Windy City Times, Obama avoided the issue of marriage, saying I think we can get civil unions passed. [...] Im less concerned about the name.
Damn, that's a shame to learn. The story of JavaScript and how Eich created it is pretty cool/crazy. He's clearly very intelligent, so I definitely find it confusing/disappointing.
Yes it is. Step back for a minute and ignore that you are pro gay rights.
Absolute nonsense.
The guys opinions are his own, he wasn't employed by the company at the time and even if he was, they do not reflect the position of Mozilla as a whole.
1. Being racist can lead to a person getting fired.Then he'd be called a racist? Being a racist doesn't prevent you from having a job.
Yes it is. Step back for a minute and ignore that you are pro gay rights. If it is ok for a company to fire someone for believing in one thing, then it should be perfectly ok to fire them for believing something else. In this case, it should not be ok either way. As I said earlier in the thread, what is next, boycotting companies whose leadership donates to political parties that disagree with yours?
This is not a chik fil a situation.
if you choose to keep a homophobe in charge of your company rather than forcing him to step down it sort of doesAbsolute nonsense.

This means what to the current topic? Has Mr. Mozilla changed his opinion like Obama has or are you just trying to be your normal shit stirrer self?
God damn that's an idiotic analogy.would you guys stop using toilet paper if the person who invented it was against gay marriage. just wondering

Yup. Opinion vs. Action. Though as a CEO opinion matters too because he has significant influence on company policy unlike the cashier at Hobby Lobby.The deflecting of the real problem by people trying to reduce this down to simply one man having an opinion is so poorly thought out.
Thinking gay dudes are gross is an opinion. Actively supporting taking gay rights away is not an opinion.
I doubt that, I'm afraid :\ . I mean, Michael Richards is still getting work, isn't he?

I'm not making the connection Not in support of gay marriage=Homophobe. Sorry, but I honestly believe you can have no problem with homosexuality and still not be in favour of gay marriage, In the same way you can be homophobic and not give a shit..

That is quite literally impossible. You simply cannot have no problem with homosexuality and be against gay marriage.

If your position is borne from religion, yes you can.
Same as you can consider 90% of the world as sinners that are going to hell but still treat them as normal people and not lepers.
