LINK: Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich Resigns After Protests from Gay Marriage Supporters
He uses his own money as he sees fit and must resign as a result? really? Come on people. Advocating your position is one thing. Forcing someone to give up their livelihood is quite another.

Bullying behavior at its finest.

Disagree with gay marriage you're branded a bigot/racist and they call for your head.
Disagree with consevative viewpoints they uh... Don't care because they know it's your right.
I disagree personally, but they were losing employees. Mozilla is a very forward progressive company with a very forward progressive fan base. If I was working for Catholic Charities and gave money to planned parenthood, I'd not count on job security or getting to be a CEO.Originally Posted by sturg33

so you don't like the free market
got ya
LOL
the market determined his stance wasn't wanted
you are mad about that
seems like the free market did its job
I'm mad about how sensitive the pro-gay crowd gets about ANYTHING. Holy **** - he donated money to a cause. Get over it.

If anti-gay marriage folks boycotted every store that was in favor, half of US business would shut down
Seriously, you don't get it huh?
If you worked for a company that was progressive, your primary consumers are progressive, you would practice caution.

so you don't like the market and you don't have a problem with someone denying rights to another citizen
weird turn around for you
It's not nearly as cut and dry as that.
This guy is being persecuted for his personal beliefs.
That's not right.
Surprised there was an anti gay contingency in California. That's the surprising aspect of the story.
I don't think you understand.
I'm not surprised
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, let’s 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.
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 who’ve 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 nation’s top military officials. They were called into President Obama’s office and told that if they could not support “Don’t Ask, Don’t 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
On the issue of dadt, a straight serviceman is no more greater or more loyal to our country than a homosexual one.
I'm glad he did it. If Christians don't want to be persecuted for their beliefs, why should a gay person be persecuted for being who they are especially when they're fighting for our country.

LOL, yeah you guys are about as clued in about freedom of speech and what it REALLY means as conservatives are when they're just pretty damn sure that corporations are people, but workers aren't.
It's no wonder that this country is so effing screwed!!!
No offense Keith, but it's entirely different at least in my opinion if you have served in the military.
I understand why it might be uncomfortable or awkward but it's the right thing to do. Can't ask a gay person to risk their life for our country and then say keep your secret hidden.
Forever Fredi
It seems my computer is having trouble loading some of these comments. Rare to have problems with Firefox.
I understand that you don't like how the free market dealt with this man
I am surprised that you for some reason don't like the free market
