Brenden Eich’s Mozilla resignation proves gay rights are no longer up for debate.

Brenden Eich’s Mozilla resignation proves gay rights are no longer up for debate.:

Once, on a train in from Long Island, two nice, respectable,
smart-seeming people sat down behind me and began to casually deliberate
about the rights I deserved. My face burned so hot that I cannot
remember their exact positions—one thought I should maybe have a certain
thing while the other thought such generosity really wasn’t necessary.
After listening to the pros and cons for an hour or so, I felt I had
gathered enough information about myself that I was qualified to offer
an opinion; but of course, when I turned to join the discussion, my body
betrayed me—I mumbled something annoyingly irrational, certainly overly
emotional, through tears and had to excuse myself from the car.
