Freedom to be....

[midcan5]

I am often fascinated by the use of the slogan word 'freedom' in both culture and politics. You hear it mentioned as the cure of all things and yet you don't see it in the real world. Freedom to be who you are has been hard fought for race, for gays, it continues still.

What decade do you live in? The CEO of Mozilla was fired because he doesn't condone gay marriage. Enough said, really.

You have the freedom to be who you want to be. You do not have the freedom to force others to accept your choices when you get in their faces with it. The backlash against gays has not been about their gayness it has been about the forcing of their lifestyles onto others by Progressive white heterosexual people who do not have to deal with the backlash.

Incorrect.

He was pressured to resign because he publicly supported an unpopular position that was deemed damaging to the companies reputation.

Maybe FauxNews is looking for a good bigot to run their show.

Unpopular? It passed by popular support and the courts took it out. Unpopular would mean the majority did not want it and it was imposed on them, like Obama ruling by pen.

....

It must be terrible to feel oppressed...by the world, by life. So unfair.

And the unpopular position was...? He doesn't condone gay marriage.

My point is made. Twenty years ago he would have kept his position and gays weren't marrying.

From what I understand he actively did not condone gay marriage.

Did you bother to read my points on CEO's, why they deserve huge salaries and why they have no personal lives outside the companies they lead?

These two factors are crucial to the equation.

It is unpopular in a movement that promotes freedom. Mozilla is part of the Open Source/free software movement.
