> It was of such consequence to Brendan Eich that he was let go.

Eich quit, he wasn't let go.

> Because we all know that having no opinion on this matter cannot stand.

Eich didn't have "no opinion", and didn't just have "an opinion", he had acted specifically to enshrine inequality in CA's constitution.



You'd really people rather didn't back up their opinions with votes?


1. Eich didn't just vote, he gave money for prop8. He went out of his way to support curtailing civil rights

2. Would I prefer bigoted assholes not try to force their vindictive bigotry unto others? Are you really asking that?


1. OK, I'll reword: you'd rather people not back up their opinions financially?

2. Begs the question: do you consider that everyone who doesn't support gay marriage is bigoted? Also: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/personal-incredulity
