I am absolutely 100% intolerant of anyone opposed to gay marriage (or civil unions for straight couples/gay couples, same end result).

> Maybe he was misguided, or misunderstood the reality of what Proposition 8 would mean

How could this possibly ever happen? You'd seriously have to be a complete moron. Here's the complete text:

Section I. Title

This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "California Marriage Protection Act."

Section 2. Article I. Section 7.5 is added to the California Constitution, to read:

Sec. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

Pretty fucking simple.

Luckily, if you live in a place where terrible people barely exist (NYC, SF, Massachusetts, etc.), it isn't really an issue. There are only a few times that I've run into an issue from just openly stating "homophobes are awful" as if it was the weather - the typical response is as if I had said "it's raining" - "well, duh".

My general approach is to be glad I pissed those people off, because I now know to never associate with them again.

This might be harder in, say, Texas.

You can buy hemp protein powder on Amazon, I've seen hemp blend shirts (horribly scratchy, for the record).

Brendan Eich is, though, apparently.

I can't even. I'm so incredibly disgusted.

I agree, knowing that homophobes are in public places of power is a good thing.

Eich shouldn't be able to enter a room without being berated, until he concedes and gives up his bigotry.

This is not "raising taxes". This is human rights.

Mozilla now cannot hire a LGBT employee without creating a hostile environment for them.

This is a big fucking deal.

How can you accidentally put a third finger down to swipe back, if you're scrolling with two fingers?

Why do you seem to have the idea that "no kids" implies "single"?

I don't know about the jail punishment, but I see no reason that DUI punishment shouldn't be equal to phone/text punishment (and it should certainly be a license suspension of massive length).
