"If an anti-gay person works at my company, his being anti-gay will have no affect on my livelihood. People with a gay agenda have made a choice to stand in the way of progress. That means their actions negatively affect the people around them, malevolent. They're entitled to no consideration, because it's their choice to ostracize themselves for their ignorance. It should be seen the same as firing someone who habitually shits on the bathroom floor."

See how this goes both ways?

Do you believe gay people being allowed to marry negatively affect you? If so, how?

No, but neither can I see how Eich, in this particular context, was negatively affecting anyone at Mozilla. Folks were uncomfortable with a private choice he made, just like some people are uncomfortable that some gay people choose to get married.

Eich is one of those people. So much so that he put money into supporting a law that actively banned same-sex marriage. Mozilla is a company that is friendly to same-sex marriage, if people don't want that changed, they shouldn't support a CEO that could change that.

Is your immediate reaction to someone talking about a general principle to always assume it's cryptic opposition to your particular political views?

No, I asked that question because of what he wrote, "People with a gay agenda have made a choice to stand in the way of progress. That means their actions negatively affect the people around them, malevolent."
