GAY TRUTH

US President Barack Obama was not targeted like Mozilla' Brendan Eich (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) “Opposing gay marriage today is not akin to opposing tax hikes or even the war in Afghanistan,” wrote Will Oremus , Slate’s senior tech writer in an altogether typical op-ed applauding the sacking of the “bigoted” Brendan Eich for his support of traditional marriage . “It’s more akin to opposing interracial marriage: It bespeaks a conviction that some people do not deserve the same basic rights as others.” Eich could not grovel quite enough to keep his job as CEO of Mozilla , a software enterprise best known for producing the Firefox web browser . He resigned under pressure after “marriage equality” activists revealed that Eich had donated $1,000 to the 2008 Proposition 8 campaign in California. Proposition 8, which passed with more than 52 percent of the vote, amended the California constitution to read, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in

The embattled CEO of Mozilla , the company that produces the Firefox internet browser, has stepped down after homosexual activists created a national backlash over his support for marriage. Brendan Eich bowed out as leader of the tech company after just days on the job, after LGBT activists discovered that he had donated $1,000 to California's Proposition 8 . The state constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman passed the deeply liberal state in 2008 with more than seven million votes.

Eich, who developed Javascript,  donated  $1,000 to Republican presidential contender Pat Buchanan in 1991-2. He was also a member of the Ron Paul revolution , giving $2,500 to the libertarian-leaning Congressman in his 1996 and 1998

A half-dozen years ago, Brendan Eich donated $1,000 to the campaign for Proposition 8 , the California ballot initiative that set out to ban same-sex marriage. It passed with 52 percent of the vote, but was later overturned by the courts. Eich, the pro-Proposition 8 donor, stepped down as CEO of Mozilla , a company he co-founded, because various stakeholders at the company objected to his political donation from six years ago. At that time, a majority of Californians and an even bigger majority of Americans, including Barack Obama , the commander-in-chief who "evolved" to end the ban on gays and lesbians in the military, believed that gay marriage ought to be illegal. (In fact, that same year, around 40 percent of Americans thought gay sex should be illegal .) Now? "The backlash against Mozilla, which produces the Firefox Web browser , included calls for his resignation from developer groups and Mozilla's employees," the San Jose Mercury News reported,
