Recently firefox has been asking me to donate to them at their home page, hence I am checking out their background.

Doing a quick search I find I miss out the news regarding all the rage about Firefox new CEO who invented Javascript only lasted for 11 days because he make a donation on antigay activities 6 years ago.

While that had been an interesting read, I am not disscussing about gay rights as there are enough such disscussion going around the internet.

What I want to highlight is we had been fooled and used for some people personal gain.

OkCupid, a dating site which is the spearhead for the movement against the New CEO has used and make a fool out of the people.

The co-funder of OKCupid, Sam Yagan had make a donation to a anti gay politiction in the past.

So it is ok that OKCupid called for blood on Eich because he make a donation on anti gay movement in the pass, while its own Co-Funder and CEO of Match.com, OkCupid’s parent company, is guilty of the same thing?


I particularlly like this

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
McAvoy added that he feels fortunate to work at a company like Mozilla, "where I can say that without fear of retribution."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That make my faith in huminity an all time low.



Edit:
In case someone had an idea that Sam is just incompetend and donated without knowing the politiction stance here is something you should know

What personal gain, exactly? How did match.com's bigot CEO benefit from the campaign to bash the Mozilla bigot CEO? More importantly, how does it all tie into the Benghazi chemtrail conspiracy?

WTF does anti-gay even mean these days? I don't see how proposition 8 form instance is supposed to be anti-gay. I wish sexuality was again something that had to stay in the bedroom instead of being dragged around in public for personal gain. I don't care what people do in their private, just keep is private please.
Match.com even tried to recruit Eich later...

One thing I notice its mostly towards Gay Males.

You don't see this attitude towards Lesbians. People sees 2 Straight girls kissing in the mouth and most guys say, "Wow that is hot" But have 2 males kiss and they riot in disgust. Unless the males happens to look extremely effeminate and get "Wow thats hot" from Yaoi fan girls :P

Men like fake lesbians, women like fake gays, it's natural programming. However, no guys would think that butch lesbians are hot, just like women aren't attracted to real gay men either. It's all the same, just mirrored.

More like masculine looking women, or at least non-feminine. Besides, you were talking about "most men", so "there are guys who..." doesn't really cut it.

Prop 8 is homophobic because its stated goal and effect were to discriminate against gay people. Discrimination against gays = homophobia. That's what the word means. Try eat less lead paint.

No one "drags sexuality in public" except porn stars, dipshit. Go one, tell straight people to get divorced asap because you don't want them dragging their sexuality in public.

Ellen Page is hot. Portia De Rossi is hot. Anderson Cooper is hot. Neil Patrick Harris is hot.
Just in case, Laverne Cox is also hot, though I don't know what her orientation is.

Something's clearly wrong with your "natural programming", though. I suspect an extra chromosome is the culprit.

I agree with you on three of those but Harris (while one of my favorite all time actors) is not hot. :D

Well he's gay -- in the context of debunking HiPhish's bullshit, only women's opinions count, and they squee over his family pics and want to marry him.

Technically "homophobia" would mean fear of sameness, so that's a moot point. Anyway, what's wrong with discrimination? To discriminate literally means to differentiate and we do it all the time. If you apply for a job your potential employer will discriminate you against other applicants based on your qualification. When you make friends you discriminate against people based on their personality. When looking for someone to perform a service you discriminate based on their offer. Athletes are discriminated based on their physical performance. And so on.

There is nothing wrong with discrimination of people in certain contexts. The point of proposition 8 was not to discriminate against homosexuals, because they are discriminated all the time in every way just as everyone else. The point was to disallow same-sex marriage. And there is a point to be made about it because same-sex couples cannot reproduce. If you don't like that fact go complain to God, Darwin, the Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever you believe in. Treating people differently because they are different where is matters is not a crime.

Question: why do I know the sexual orientation of the CEO of Apple? Did anyone really ask for it? How does that help the company make better computers? No one needed to know, but Tim Cook had to make it public and brag about how much money he has donated to the gay lobby. But he's definitely not an activist. That's the most recent example I can think of.

So if a man and a woman don't want to have kids, they shouldn't be allowed to get married?

There are 7 billion people on this planet and someone is worried that the same sex marriage would cause a fall in reproduction. When you think you heard them all...
