I had mixed feelings about this one.  Yeah, the gay rights groups clearly blew this out of proportion.  They did.  After all, people with objectionable views are going to control some things, and it's not as if this man would have based his business decisions on his politics.  However, no one was fired and the CEO probably could have at least waned the protestors by apologizing for what he did - a simple, short yet sweet, letter of regret.  He took the high road, instead.

Anyway, maybe it's just me, but it seems so much attention has been going to the Mozilla controversy while the World Vision story has largely been ignored, which I think is of greater significance if only thanks to the double backlash that organization received.

So in order to rebut the analogy between racism and homophobia you're going to frame your argument basically verbatim the way supporters of miscegenation laws did back in the day? Trolltastic!

Of course. Because this is clearly a conversation about the rights of heterosexual-homosexual partners to intermarry and the rights of their half-gay offspring.

People have told me that socially-conscious lefties are the second dumbest demographic, after poor religious-fundamentalists. I'm beginning to believe them.

All right, all right.  Joke's over.  Whose sock are you?
