The fact that their founder wants to ban gay marriage is enough reason for me to avoid it like the plague.
He fucking what?
He made a thousand dollar donation in support of proposition 8, a constitutional amendment in California that strips gay people of the right to marry. He then proceeded to argue that such a donation does not make him a bigot or an enemy of LGBTQ+ people, because he's a delusional piece of filth.
This effectively prevented gay people from marrying in California from 2008 to 2013 until the fascists that supported it were finally done trying to argue how this doesn't violate the US constitution.
So yeah, may he, his browser, and any pathethic excuse that pretends to be human being who supported this abomination rot in the deepest depths forever.
From his Blog post where he defends stripping same-sex couples of their equal right to marry.
“I refrain from putting my personal beliefs in others’ way. I hope for the same in return.”
Except his donation is an endorsement. Endorsement = you paid someone else to suppress others, with the same end result if you had done it yourself. "I just gave money to support the oppression of people that did nothing to me. I didn't push my personal beliefs onto any else. I'm not a bigot, and I don't see why people are saying mean things about me!"
