As the only gay in the QBN village, I thought the reaction – delete Firefox! boycott! – was disproportionate and placed too much blame on Mozilla (which had nothing to do with Eich's funding). But then I haven't been fighting for equal rights for the past decade+ as gays in the US/California have: Canada lifted the ban on gays in the military when I was 12, and enacted equal marriage laws when I was 25.
The thing is Eich doesn't merely have an opinion, he was working to make/keep his opinion law to the detriment of millions of people at a time when money from out-of-state groups (like the Mormons) was pouring in to fight their chance at equality. $100, $1,000, or $100,000,000 doesn't matter, he chose to fight equal rights for all.
Holding someone accountable for what they've said or done isn't bullying, by the way. Stop watching FOX for your news.
