One of the founders, Brendan Eich, donated his money to take away the equal right for same-sex couples to marry in California (Prop 8). He never acknowledge that it was mistake, so I can only assume that he truly wants to see the marriages of same-sex couples erased, which is quite a hateful thing to desire.
Not supporting is one thing but being so actively against, is interesting
i dont agree with it but he can do whatever he wants with his money. not sure it is relevant to internet privacy tho.
This slime funded efforts to revoke another human's civil rights. That is not opinion.
Loving v. Virginia (1967) and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) ruled that interracial and same sex marriage bans violate the equal protections and due process clauses of the 14th amendment.
While that's fair, actually funding something to take away the rights of another person, like this guy presumably did, is a lot more weighty than just having an opinion.
ok? that doesn't mean we can't criticise/boycott/protest because of them
Yes and my opinion is that being anti-gay marriage is a shitty opinion that should be criticised.
I don't select a browser by political preference, since Eich departure from Mozilla it went downhill hard.
