<i>The problem is that it's not healthy for Firefox to be seen as pro or anti women's rights, or whatever not-directly-web-related political issue, really.</i>

I would rather avoid a browser that was either pro or anti women's rights. Or pro or anti abortion. Or pro or anti slavery. Or pro or anti human. Although an anti-human browser might be cool... Tools should not be politically oriented, in general. Mild special case for politics pertaining to the tools themselves, like Firefox supporting an open web.

No. Unless you're implying gay people are less important than women?

Of course it isn't healthy. My suggestion was that Mozilla might get some lemonade out of the bitter lemons others have already bought for it; and it was made mostly in jest anyway.
