Georges just out of curiosity have you ever lived in the U.S. or visit here? Because even though a controversy like this gets a lot of attention, it's happening within a bubble of the liberal tech community.
This is the still the same country where a super-majority are conservative Christians and where I get people staring at me in some neighborhoods because I'm not white. So in spite of what it might look like, there isn't too much of a threat of the social justice warriors taking over anytime soon.
And getting back to my original argument, no society or person (even you, I imagine) is tolerant of everyone. Yes in theory it sounds nice, the idea of tolerance and we all talk it out: the anti Semite making friends with the Jew, Fred Phelps holding hands with the gay rights activist etc. But the reality is that everyone draws a line somewhere. And even though the issue has moved rather quickly, it seems to me it's not such a bad thing if, at least within the tech community, holding anti-gay views is no longer tolerated, just like racist views are not.
