Even Firefox doesn't want me to find a husband. This message popped up when I tried to check my Okcupid messages.
"Hello there, Mozilla Firefox user. Pardon this interruption of your OkCupid experience.
Mozilla’s new CEO, Brendan Eich, is an opponent of equal rights for gay
couples. We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla
software to access OkCupid.
Politics is normally not the
business of a website, and we all know there’s a lot more wrong with the
world than misguided CEOs. So you might wonder why we’re asserting
ourselves today. This is why: we’ve devoted the last ten years to
bringing people—all people—together. If individuals like Mr. Eich had
their way, then roughly 8% of the relationships we’ve worked so hard to
bring about would be illegal. Equality for gay relationships is
personally important to many of us here at OkCupid. But it’s
professionally important to the entire company. OkCupid is for creating
love. Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame, and
frustration are our enemies, and we wish them nothing but failure.
If you want to keep using Firefox, the link at the bottom will take you through to the site.
However, we urge you to consider different software for accessing OkCupid:
Google Chrome Internet Exploder Opera
Thank you,
OkCupid"
Valid point. Peace out, Firefox.
