OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights

Posted by Soulskill on from the unwelcoming-is-unwelcome dept.

Users are met with a message stating that OKCupid would prefer no one access their site with Mozilla software. Eich is the new CEO of Mozilla."

    Comparing the ability to marry for a small tax benefit to subjugating an entire race and disenfranchising half the population is something that can only be done by an ignorant twat with no understanding of what true oppression is and no intention on ever learning.

    The meaning of the word 'boycott' can be easy looked up in a dictionary, likely even on wikipedia.

    The most you can accuse OKCupid for is a 'call for' boycott.

    Which I support. That Eich guy should be removed from his position and imho prosecuted.
