    Congratulations, Mozilla on electing a CEO who paid money to ensure gay people don’t have equal rights. https://brendaneich.com/2014/03/mozilla-news/ …

        @aral No offence man. I'm just being honest. If it were a gay person being elected (who's zoo anti-straight) should straight people bother?
