Late yesterday, Mozilla, which makes the Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird email client, released a statement, presumably in response to the boycott.
It reads:
Mozilla has always been deeply committed
to honoring diversity in sexual orientation and beliefs within our staff
and community, across all the project’s activities. One concrete
example of this is in our health benefit policies. Mozilla provides the
same level of benefits and advantages to domestic partners as we do to
married couples across the United States, even in states where it is not
mandated. For those who choose life insurance, voluntary spouse
coverage extends to domestic partners, including same-sex couples. With
thousands of people spanning many countries and cultures, diversity is
core to who we are, and we’re united in our mission to keep the Web open
and accessible for everyone.
Isn't that nice, they offer benefits to same sex partners, but their corporate leader thinks we are second class citizens and sided with the folks who likened us to pedophiles.
Fuck Firefox and Mozilla...being gay isn't a choice, picking a homophobe as chairman of the board is!
