"Eich was demonized" for voting to remove rights from minorities which he thought they didn't deserve the way he did, yes.


California Proposition 8 received 7,001,084 yes votes and 6,401,482 noes.

Brendan Eich donated $1,000 against Proposition 8 and was presumably one of the 6,401,482 Californians who voted no.

For this, he was cancelled.

"On April 4, 2014, the Washington Times reported that conservative “activist Ben Shapiro is leading up an online charge of fellow political compadres to boycott the browser Firefox — an outraged response to the Mozilla chief’s departure from his CEO role due to gay rights’ protests.”

The Washington Times article went on to say, “Mr. Shapiro has started a movement — complete with petition — to get as many Internet users as possible to ‘uninstall or cease using Mozilla.”

You were saying?

I wouldn't know. I think I've heard the name Shapiro but I have no real idea who he is. Also, I don't read the Washington Times.

But apparently you do?
