Mozilla CEO resigns following Prop 8 support criticism

Can't two people continue to like each other AND have different views on specific issues, as long as neither parties holds some extreme views on any given issue that would render him a broken human being? For **** sake themajormayor is, to my limited knowledge of him, a pro-Israel Jew and we get along pretty well, far better than I get along with some users whom I disagree with on trivial issues in comparison to the existential antagonism the two of us possibly share. Besides that, why exactly should I shut the **** up when it comes to gay rights? What are "gay rights" anyway? Gays should be given the privilege of being regular citizens. They're entitled to their sexuality which should not be taken into account in public life. They are to get married and to possibly take part in any legally recognized social institution. Beyond that society owes them nothing. So why all the fuss the LGBT movement is making? You have LGBT studies departments, interest groups, professors and people dedicating their entire lives to the "cause of LGBT people" lol. I may not be fully knowledgeable on the workings of western societies, but can't the government and its public institutions take care of that in the blink of an eye? I'm failing to express my exact point here, but what I'm trying to say is why has homosexuality been made such a high profile case in the first place? Could it be boredom? Or a desire for keeping the public occupied with something? I personally don't know.

With that said, I am unable to conceive the alleged extremism and irrationality of my views. I think I said it at least once before that if I were an American citizen right now and were asked to vote on legalizing gay marriage, I would choose not to vote altogether. On the one hand, I am not too fond of homosexuality that I do not deny nor should I, and on the other I still don't think I have the right to shape the American society or to give or take away rights of any variety. So I ask you rather friendly, what is so outlandish and absurd about my views on gay rights that should force me to shut the **** up when it comes to that social issue? I may not "approve" of homosexuality, but if you swiftly survey society in your head you will realize that there exists an almost infinite number of lawfully and possibly benignly conceived practices that you are not too fond of for one reason or the other. You almost certainly won't attempt to fundamentally alter or abolish them but you will still disapprove of them and you may occasionally voice that dissent. In that regard, we're all on the same boat so it is not of anybody's interest to establish any kind of despotic status quo.

As long as I feel motivated enough to post anything related to homosexuality I will continue to do so to the best of my ability. At times I may fail and at others I may succeed in both conveying my thoughts appropriately and bringing something of substance to the table. It would be rather unfortunate if some people chose to "abolish" me and shun me from the realm of rationality because of it.

You honestly think that your views aren't extreme? Wasn't that long ago you were arguing that gays shouldn't be allowed in public. You are yet to make a single rational argument, everything you've said is based on either lies or false assumptions.

You complain that people are trying to silence you, yet what you're trying to do go way beyond trying to silence people. You are a hypocrite.
