I really liked that you skipped over what that ballot initiative was. He donated in support of Prop 8, an attempt to ban same-sex marriage in California. As a former Mozilla employee, I'm pretty glad that he was ousted for his homophobia. Good riddance.

It was an opinion on marriage, a millenia-old quasi-political-religious traditional institution. The world is full of such opinions. Polygamy is illegal in 50 of 50 United states, even California.

Don't slip on that edge of political wrongthink.

Communism is certainly the most damaging political movement of the 20th century. Should we oust Communist sympathizers from their positions of power?

Polygamy is very different from same-sex marriage, though.

Laws prohibiting same sex marriage and laws prohibiting polygamy limit people from marrying people that they choose.

Why should the state be okay with two men getting married to each other and not two men getting married to the same woman? Or three women all getting married to each other?

Being anti gay marriage isn't necessarily homophobic. I'm a straight male in the middle of a divorce, and I share an apartment with a gay male friend. Divorce is an ugly and painful process, and the only sure way to avoid it is to avoid marriage. Gay marriage will inevitably mean gay divorce. Haven't gay people suffered enough already?
