A quick check also reveals that on a 79%+ voter turnout 52% of the California voters endorsed Proposition 8. Does this mean we need to send them to re-education camps so they do not keep their intolerant views.
I can agree that we disagree. I can also live with the court's ruling (if I lived in the USA). I don't really care about what 2 consenting adults do in their bedroom (or on the kitchen table for that matter). But with your point of view, it's your way or the highway. Agree or we will ruin you, even if we need to resort to underhanded dirty politics. So tell me on which side is the intolerance there?A quick check also reveals that on a 79%+ voter turnout 52% of the California voters endorsed Proposition 8.

We'll start with you. All packed?
On the Internet that goes out the window I see. "Stop liking what I don't like" is the way of the internet today hell you see it on tech sites everyday.What total crap. Equality, only if you think like us. Whatever happened to “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
So what are you planning to do to the majority of the voters in California who voted yes to Proposition 8? I'm afraid it is entirely about privately held political views. Even the Supreme Court only ruled against it 5-4 with Justice Anthony Kennedy in the ruling stating "What the court fails to grasp or accept is the basic premise of the initiative process. And it is this. The essence of democracy is that the right to make law rests in the people and flows to the government, not the other way around. Freedom resides first in the people without need of a grant from government," he said. "The California initiative process embodies these principles and has done so for over a century. ... In California and the 26 other states that permit initiatives and popular referendums, the people have exercised their own inherent sovereign right to govern themselves. The court today frustrates that choice." Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also agreed with this statement. So what is your plan to deal with 4 justices of the Supreme Court that disagree with you?I agree. There can be no tolerance for intolerance. Anyone who is intolerant of basic human rights should never be allowed to lead any company. This is what this is about. It's not about privately held political views, this is a man who took action to deny basic human rights to others.
Apple strongly supports marriage equality and we consider it a civil rights issue. We applaud the Supreme Court for its decisions today.
Google is fully supportive of equal rights for all.
Today’s decision turns the page on a law that made it more difficult for us to treat all of our employees, regardless of sexual orientation, equally. Microsoft joined dozens of corporations, organizations and governments in support of the challenge to DOMA because of the significant costs and administrative burdens it imposed on employers and because it interfered with our efforts to promote diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace.
Intolerable view against someone that has different opinions is in and of itself against the democratic foundation of our system.
While I disagree with Brendan Eich's take on prop 8, I don't see a point of boycotting a product base on an employee's view (CEO or janitor). Mozilla is a product of many people's hard work. Besides, per current US laws, he is entitled to his view and gets to vote yes/no like everyone else.
Of course he's entitled to his view. But he didn't just "vote" yes or no, he contributed money to a specific agenda reflecting intolerance. And as a CEO of a multi-million dollar VERY public company, no one is going to take you seriously if you're saying one thing but doing another.
A very dumb move on his part and now he's paying the price.

Again, it is not illegal for him to support prop 8 (by spirit or by financial means). By your logic, everyone who financially supported a proposition that is different from yours are not eligible for certain position (public or private)? And most conservatives aren't fit to be the CEO of Microsoft, Yahoo, Bank of America, Google, Citibank, American Express, etc. ? That my friend, is true intolerance.
I consider myself a liberal, but I can't understand your view.
You know, it would be one thing if it *were* just "personal opinions." I have worked with people like that. I think everybody has (unfortunately). But it moves from "personal opinion" to "actively participating in medieval discrimination and bullshit" when we're handing out $1k (and that's just what we know about) to groups that amount to hate groups. Sorry, no dice.
I would assume that half the board wouldn't have left if it was really a non-issue and had zero effect on anything...or else they left on principle, which is important too. As Jon Stewart famously said, “If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.”
I WILL UNINSTALL FIREFOX... I wont support those workers getting a paycheck by having Firefox install on my computer and using it as well. GOOGLE CHROME ftw!!!
Intolerance? At the corporate level obviously.See? So much for diversity of opinion.
Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious views. Mozilla supports equality for all.
As long as you have the right views, that is.
No tolerance for intolerance.
No he didn't. Marriage is not a basic human right. Where is it spelled out in the Constitution? Some who oppose gay marriage have legitimate reasons to do so, but as usual the really intolerant ones are the hypocrites who demonize anyone who disagrees with them.I agree. There can be no tolerance for intolerance. Anyone who is intolerant of basic human rights should never be allowed to lead any company. This is what this is about. It's not about privately held political views, this is a man who took action to deny basic human rights to others.
Yeah well, When you speak of historical intolerance, remember what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah! I guess they wouldn't "tolerate", "him (*)", being CEO of Mozilla either."Those intolerant of homosexual marriage are on the wrong side of history."
Homosexuality is not new. There may have been countless hedonist homosexual loving civilizations in ancient history. They just aren't around anymore. Why would you assume your progressive morality is more correct than my conservative views. Maybe you are not progressive enough and need to join NAMBLA
