From daily The Morning Star in Britain:
OkCupid boycotts Firefox after ‘homophobic’ CEO appointment
Wednesday 2nd April 2014
Brendan Eich donated money to anti-gay rights group Proposition 8
A popular dating website began yesterday a boycott to a homophobic internet browser.
Free online dating group OkCupid has launched a boycotting campaign against Mozilla Firefox after the internet browser company appointed anti-gay rights supporter Brendan Eich as its new CEO.
Users attempting to access the website through Firefox were met with a landing page requesting they opt for another browser.
“If individuals like Mr. Eich had their way, then roughly 8 per cent of the relationships we’ve worked so hard to bring about would be illegal,” read the statement.
Mr Eich openly donated $1,000 (£600) to the Proposition 8 campaign, which put forward the view that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
OkCupid — which had over 10 million unique hits only last month — said its very nature was “creating love.”
To those wanting to undermine love, they wish “nothing but failure.”
Mozilla has released a statement denying homophobia but omitting its CEO’s political agenda.

Well done.
Thanks for reblogging!
Mr Eich’s views are unacceptable in these days of equality. If he chooses to openly fund the Proposition 8 movement then it should come as no surprise to Mozilla that Homosexuals and those that support gay rights will react against the company which makes him CEO.
