OkCupid urges users to abandon Firefox

I don't think it was ever really about that. Mozilla is a great organization, partly because of Brendan's involvement over the years. Still it's perplexing that he feels so strongly about this. He's being criticized from every corner and bringing lots of negative attention to Mozilla and yet and he's sticking to his guns.

This isn't going to go away. At best he's going to be seen as the guy who doesn't support gay marriage in a world where this sort of view is becoming more and more untenable.

Well, wouldn't you respect him less, if he simply changed his views for political expediency?

And last time I checked, when Prop8 went through, wasn't he with a majority of Californians...lol.

I don't get how the supporters of gay marriage something think (or try to claim) that their view is automatically right, arguments be damned.

Marriage has been defined as a man and woman for thousands of years.

Yes, that can be changed, and they're well within rights to do so - maybe the human race is changing.

But to claim that, we don't need to stinking arguments, and just say, we must be right seems a bit stupid.

Surely, if you're going to redefine something that important, you'd want to lead with your arguments, and not, oh, it's just natural we're right, and your position is untenable.
