    Yeah, it does seem that some LGBT supporters are so feverish that a straight guy could rebuff another man's advances and he'd be called a bigot. As I said in my previous post, I'm a guilty of calling someone a bigot prematurely.

    This nicely frames the important distinction between freedom of commerce and freedoms from governmental intervention:

    1. Society shares the costs of government, therefore the government needs to be neutral towards all;
    2. Commerce however, a person should be free to choose with their pocketbook who they want to interact/spend money with

    If you're selling a product, do you want to alienate anyone? Probably not smart to do so; especially for a ubiquitous product like Firefox.

    I'm really proud of all the folks who will also be boycotting any website using JavaScript.

    The beauty of it all is that they're completely unaware of the unintentional hilarity of this statement.

    Should the title be "anti-gay" or "anti-gay marriage"?

    Or is there a difference?

    Oh, I think YF was hinting up top that there is a difference.

    But there isn't.

    The freaking bill passed in CA. This should be like shooting fish in a barrel for the LBGTs.

    "I have no problem with gays as long as they don't marry." = "I have no problem with Negroes as long as they don't marry white women."

    No, there's no difference between anti-gay and anti-gay marriage. Either you believe gays are humans who deserve the same rights as the rest of us or you believe gays are not entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals. And the latter is anti-gay.

    Kind of telling that the only way some people can win the debate is if they set up the rules so that the other side isn't allowed to be heard.

    Meanwhile, on another front ...

    Kind of telling that the only way some people can win the debate election is if they set up the rules so that the other side isn't allowed to be heard vote.
