Anti-gay marriage group calls for boycott of Mozilla Firefox
A leading anti-gay marriage organization is calling for a boycott of the web browser Firefox after its maker, Mozilla, forced out its CEO over his opposition to same-sex marriage.
The National Organization for Marriage said in a statement that the exit of CEO Brendan Eich on Thursday -- Eich resigned amidst pressure over his contributions to the 2008 ballot measure outlawing gay marriage in California -- resulted from a "McCarthy-esque witch hunt."
“When Brendon Eich made his modest contribution to support Proposition 8, Barack Obama was on the ballot as a candidate who said he believed marriage was the union of one man and one woman," NOM president Brian Brown said. "Now Eich has been the target of a vicious character attack by gay activists who have forced him out of the company he has helped lead for years."
NOM said gay marriage opponents should remove Firefox from their computers.
SOO, all the folks on Daily Kos who think that poor Brendan Eich is a victim of nasty gay bullies have a place to go to for coordinating their protest activities. I bet if you send them a modest contribution they'll send you some appropriately clever bumper sticker.
