“Here this man at Mozilla, Eich, had given $1,000 about six or seven years ago – $1,000 – to a proposition .And somebody came around and said, ‘Will you contribute?’ And he said, ‘Here’s a grand, get off my back.’ I mean, that’s probably all that it amounted to. But instead of that, he’s being forced out by gay activists, …

“The Day of Silence is sadly a day of pro-homosexual propaganda in schools. Students pledge to remain silent all day in order to protest what they believe has been the silencing of homosexuals and bullying that isn’t being punished, those who choose to be homosexual or switch genders are the victims and we’re all bullies or potential bullies if we …

Immediately upon the Supreme Court rejecting their appeal in the case of the anti-gay New Mexico photographer, the virulently anti-gay Alliance Defending Freedom launched a money beg.  According to the ADF, while the New Mexico Supreme Court “got it wrong,” that case was “not in vain” and they’ve got cases in other states that are still in progress.

“The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear and uphold the First Amendment rights of Elaine Huguenin, a wedding photographer, are deeply disturbing.

The US Supreme Court today declined to hear the appeal of the New Mexico woman who refused to photograph the commitment ceremony of a lesbian couple.

Chris …

What Glenn Beck apparently doesn’t know, or at least refuses to acknowledge, is that none of the major LGBT rights groups publicly called for a Mozilla boycott or for Eich to be removed as CEO.
