Firefox just died for me today after I found out they support BLM. I'm now on Brave browser!

Actually it was because he donated to some Prop 8 organizations as I recall. I still think it was a bad reason to let him go, but there is a difference between "not being pro-gay", and actively supporting a movement to deny gay people in California the ability to get married.

Fine - but it's hardly a significant difference. People forget how hard and fast the left tried to normalize gay marriage. By contrast, terrorist BLM has received billions of dollars from private corporations and nothing will happen to these companies

the left

hard and fast

The first Pride march was organized in 1970. At that time even gay relations were generally criminal, let alone gay marriage. "The left" didn't push gay marriage "hard and fast"; support for gay rights was a minority issue even among the left at that time. Gay rights activists fought for those rights over the course of nearly 50 years. If you were surprised by how "fast" it happened, then you probably just weren't paying attention.

Gays were free to live as they wished, "getting married" was an effort to pretend that anal sex can result in children. There were many politicians who were known to be gay and lived with their gay lover, even in the 1930s, and no one charged them for that (at least in some european countries).
