Sorry I should have clarified myself in this regard. People individually decide what is moral and what isn't. Society decides what morals are LEGAL and what isn't.
A serial killer decides that murder is moral, society decides that it isn't legal.
Yeah, really. If people are to be targeted in a "purge" for having supported traditional marriage what else would you call it?
I call it polarizing, but of course that has nothing to do with my post.
OK, I got ya, I think....So, people that disagree with the LGBT agenda are free to have those beliefs, as long as they don't speak them publicly, or donate anything to opposition of them, or else they open themselves to harassment, and attack to the point where they are forced to resign from their job...And this isn't fascism? I mean I get that people are passionate about this issue, but how is it that any squelching of LGBT voicing their agenda in the public square, ie protest, or donation, or what ever would be seen by advocates as a stomping on the free speech rights of the LGBT community, and would be met with ramped up vitriol, and cries of fascistic suppression. However, because it is aimed not AT the LGBT community, but rather at an individual that did little more than donate years ago to a cause on a ballot up for referendum by the people, and chose what is perceived by the passionate as "the wrong side", well, then he must be 'isolated, destroyed, and marginalized' in the purest form of Alinski style debasement.
How is it that the supporters of these memes cant see how it is that they are carrying out what they claim to be attacking? I just don't get it I suppose.
Mozilla is already facing a counter boycott and this one will probably be worse than the one OKcupid could muster together. Even corporations have to realize actions have consequences. You cannot oust someone because they simply have an opposing opinion. It's not illegal but it is certainly unamerican! The Mozilla Boycott Begins
Really? I don't see them passing laws against gay marriage.
I am pro-gay marriage.
But my husband & I both installed Mozilla and have gotten some of our friends and family to do the same. I also will never support any company that advertises on Firefox.
Mozilla owns this now.
I'd like to follow your example. Can you tell me which browser you moved to, or would you like that to remain private?
Any person can lose their job in a private work place for political opinions. Why aren't people outraged about ordinary people being fired for such things? People are spending so much time trying to make this CEO some kind of Martyr. If we want things changed for people, it should change for EVERYONE, otherwise what is good for the goose is good for the gander. People will continue to get fired for voicing or supporting a cause that may be very controversial.
Is 'polarizing' good for the nation?
Then perhaps we should allow people to have their beliefs and not support the mobs who chase them down for opposing their points of view.No it's not.
It's more than polarizing. It's repugnant, and counterproductive to people who support gay rights:
Be sure to bathe yourself in that last sentence so you completely absorb it.
If it's ok to fire someone for being anti-gay marriage it's ok to fire someone for being pro-gay marriage.Supporting marriage is not controversial. Since most people are employed at will, they can get fired at anytime. I'm not quite sure what you are proposing. Forcing employers to keep people that they don't want?
It's not more than polarizing IT IS POLARIZING. I think it's repugnant to take a topic which many people can come together and discuss that there is some issues to be discussed and instead of trying to find common ground, they polarize the issue. The facts are that ANYBODY can get fired for saying anything about politics in or outside work. This is a problem for EVERYONE. This is not an us vs. them issue or a gay rights groups are evil issue. Until people want to put down their partisan swords nothing will change. Just same sh*t different day.
Leftists have often used the term 'fascist' (without obviously its understanding meaning or history) to describe those with opinions different to their own, but this is an example of genuine fascism and they don't even recognize it.

The Hounding Of A Heretic
The guy who had the gall to express his First Amendment rights and favor Prop 8 in California by donating $1,000 has just been scalped by some gay activists. After an OKCupid decision to boycott Mozilla, the recently appointed Brendan Eich just resigned under pressure...
Will he now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? 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. If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.
The Politicization of Every Single Damn Thing is indeed an unfortunate (ongoing) development.
There is a reason why even Andrew Sullivan thinks this was wrong.
They called a boycott against a man that gave money to outlaw marriage for them. That is what happened. Both these people have rights to speak out.
Everything is controversial. Well, nearly everything.Supporting marriage is not controversial. Since most people are employed at will, they can get fired at anytime. I'm not quite sure what you are proposing. Forcing employers to keep people that they don't want?
And now here is a growing boycott against Mozilla and many Gays are being embarrassed by this harassment of Eich.. Is there a winner in any of this?
nope just exactly what you said but its a good move distancing yourself from that failed garbage you posted
