'If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – then count me out...'

Says Andrew Sullivan, "The Hounding of a Heretic":

The guy who had the gall to express his First Amendment rights and favor Prop 8 in California by donating $1,000 has just been scalped by some gay activists. After an OKCupid decision to boycott Mozilla, the recently appointed Brendan Eich just resigned under pressure....

Will he now be forced to walk through the streets in shame? Why not the stocks? The whole episode disgusts me – as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society. If this is the gay rights movement today – hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else – then count me out. If we are about intimidating the free speech of others, we are no better than the anti-gay bullies who came before us.

As much as I dislike Andrew Sullivan, he's been consistently standing up against the left's gaystapo of late.

Walter James Casper III not so much. The stalking hate-troll RT'd this disgusting piece from regressive dirtbag Will Oremus:

Sorry, Brendan Eich: If you're against gay marriage, you're a bad CEO. http://t.co/hj6kGWPcpL

Lots more at Memeorandum. And see Allahupundit, especially, "Mozilla CEO “resigns” after uproar over his opposition to gay marriage," and "How did people find out that Mozilla’s CEO donated to support Prop 8?"

None of this is new. See Michelle Malkin, "Anti-Prop. 8 mob watch: L.A. Film Festival director resigns over donations," and "The insane rage of the same-sex marriage mob."

This brings back a lot of memories, since for months after the 2008 election I blogged the homosexual marriage issue every which way you can think of. I'm kinda bored with it at this point. It's not like we didn't see this coming. Leftists feel empowered with their newfound majority approval of homosexuality and they're going to force dissenters to get in line. Indeed, that's the exact language they use. Wilson Cruz told Phil Robertson to "get in line." If you don't, you're going to pay. Leftist fascism is out and proud.
