My patience is at an end with these purse waiving, tuxedo wearing Nazis.
Someone please prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that because this man gave $1000.00 to Prop he ever in any way, shape of form discriminated in hiring, firing, promotion or other manner against any person who was homosexual.
Andrew Sullivan definitely provided a clear and accurate statement on this subject matter.
Mozilla Chief Learns, if You Dont Support Gay Marriage, You Dont Deserve a Job
Todd Starnes | Apr 04, 2014
As we enter this golden age of tolerance and diversity, the nations gay rights community is sending a warning message to Americans: If you dont support gay marriage, you dont deserve a job.
Apparently, Brendan Eich did not get that message. Hes the former chief executive officer at Mozilla, the technology group that gave us the Firefox Web browser.
Eich resigned under a firestorm of controversy after it was revealed he had donated $1,000 in support of Californias Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that protected traditional marriage.
Its unclear who outed Eich. But that really doesnt matter. Once his donation was revealed, supporters of gay marriage launched all-out war.
The Wall Street Journal reported that OKCupid, the popular online dating website, asked its followers to stop using Firefox. The wireless company Credo Mobile gathered more than 50,000 signatures on a petition calling for Eich to resign.
OKCupid posted a letter denouncing the Mozilla CEO, The New York Times reported.
Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame and frustration are our enemies and we wish them nothing but failure, the letter stated.
Why not demand that those who oppose gay marriage relinquish the right to own property? Why not take away their right to vote? Why not take away their children? Why not just throw them in jail? Why not force them to work in chain gangs? Why not call for public floggings? Or better yet, lets just strap them down on gurneys, stick a needle in their arm and rid the world of these intolerant anti-gay bigots once and for all.
Eich wont say he was forced to resign, but based on the companys press release, its safe to say his days were numbered.
Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didnt live up to it, Mozilla Executive Chairwoman Mitchell Baker wrote in a statement.
We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: its because we havent stayed true to ourselves.
She went on to opine about freedom of speech and equality. In her estimation, one trumps the other.
Equality is necessary for meaningful speech, she wrote. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.
No, not really, Ms. Baker. Our Founding Fathers sort of worked that out in the Bill of Rights.
I write about this very issue in my upcoming book, God Less America. There are pages and pages filled with stories of workers and business owners whove either lost their jobs or faced public floggings for their support of traditional marriage.
The left does not believe people who oppose gay marriage should be allowed to engage in the democratic process. And they have a proven track record of intimidating and bullying those who do.
Just ask Angela McCaskill, the chief diversity officer at Gallaudet University. She was suspended after she signed a petition in her church to put a gay marriage referendum on the ballot in Maryland.
Just ask Scott Eckern, the former artistic director of California Musical Theatre. He resigned under pressure after he gave money to support Prop 8. As one activist told The New York Times, I do believe there comes a time when you cannot sit back and accept what I think is the most dangerous form of bigotry.
Just ask our nations top military officials. They were called into President Obamas office and told that if they could not support Dont Ask, Dont Tell, they should resign their commissions.
We were called into the Oval Office and President Obama looked at all five service chiefs in the eye and said, This is what I want to do, said Coast Guard Adm. Robert Papp in remarks reported by Buzzfeed.
The road to political correctness is littered with the bodies of folks like Brendan Eich sideswiped by the tolerance and diversity bus.
I trust there are rational and reasonable individuals within the gay rights community who understand the dangers of stifling free speech and expression. But the voices that are winning the day are those who believe gay rights trump everyone elses rights.
I know this may sound old-fashioned, but gainful employment should not be determined by where you put your reproductive organs.
Tolerance is a b*tch, aint it?
Gay journalist Andrew Sullivan disgusted by gay rights fanaticism after Mozilla CEO resigns
1:18 PM 04/04/2014

Openly-gay journalist Andrew Sullivan expressed his disgust over Mozilla CEO Brendan Eichs resignation for his one-time opposition to gay marriage, calling it a symptom of gay rights fanaticism and warning the movement is fast becoming no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.
The former editor at The Atlantic and The New Republic is widely regarded as the intellectual father of the gay marriage movement. He wrote the first story to advocate for gay marriage in 1989 a piece many regard as the blueprint for gay marriage laws and the normalization of homosexuality in America and has a tendency to view virtually everything through a gay prism.
But despite his activism, Sullivan is furious over Eichs persecution for his $1,000 donation to Californias Prop 8 campaign in 2008, which made gay marriage illegal in the state (RELATED: Mozilla CEO out over opposition to gay marriage).
The guy who had the gall to to express his First Amendment rights and favor Prop 8 in California by donating $1,000 has just been scalped by some gay activists, he wrote in a blog post titled The Hounding of a Heretic.
Will he now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Sullivan asked. Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society.
If this is the gay rights movement today hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else then count me out, he added. If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.
In a follow-up piece posted hours later, a still-incensed Sullivan blasted the repugnantly illiberal sentiment that Eich couldve saved his job, if hed only renounced his views.
He did not understand that in order to be a CEO of a company, you have to renounce your heresy! he wrote. There is only one permissible opinion at Mozilla, and all dissidents must be purged! Yep, thats left-liberal tolerance in a nut-shell.
