Mozilla's CEO Brendan Eich is out. Eich is resigning as CEO and leaving the board of Mozilla, the open-source computing company that makes the Firefox browser.
He had been under fire for supporting anti-gay marriage legislation in California in 2008.
Some Mozilla employees had been calling for his resignation on Twitter for the past week.
Dating site OkCupid changed its home page so that if someone using Firefox came to it, it would tell them about Eich and suggest they switch browsers.

Mark of the beast
The left is fascist
the pink mafia strikes again
push back , use only FireFox
What a #%^!$ idiot
OkCupid should be boycotted
What a coward.
Still better than IE, Microsoft is a crappy business...
Why benefit Firefox after ousting this guy?
We NEED another civil war.
Some matters can only be settled by just fighting out and being done with it.
I’d bet money on our side, as the others wouldn’t want to get all dirty, break fingernails, and would likely pass out at the sight of slinging blood. Or we could just cut off the FSA cards and let them eat each other.
Great, the CEO of the best web browser is forced to leave because people are intolerant of his beliefs. Is there ANY argument that liberals are not most closed minded people alive?
Unreal, this is something that the majority of California voted for and supported just 6 years ago.
In the name of “tolerance”, opinions of traditional values will not be tolerated and you will be punished.
Brendan Eich creator of the JavaScript scripting language, are gay marriage proponents going to boycott the scripting language used on most websites as well?
Wake me up when the revolution starts.
Why should they stop? The way things are set up now they win everything, even in spite of their vastly inferior numbers.
He should be commended for standing up for his beliefs!
I think you mean use anything but Firefox, since Firefox ran him off.
The left is evil.
I guess all the liberals will stop writing in Javascript. Brendan Eich created Javascript in May of 1995.
Eich’s problem is he backed off and apologized for his beliefs.
He was probably gonna be let go in the first place - so his walking back his remarks were totally useless.
When the Left is attacked, they dig in and hunker down...no matter the size of the battle.
When the Right is attacked, they tuck tail and run...
It's far past time to stand and fight...
