More than 60% of voted to outlaw same-sex marriage after a blitz of awful, fearmongering homophobic ads that portrayed gays as pedophiles and gay marriage as leading to kids being raped - ads that Eich helped to fund, if only a little.

Horribly untrue and very off-base. I live in California and voted in that election, and remember it well. Let's not exaggerate history.

I find it repulsive how badly you are willing to distort the truth to make this man appear like a monster.

There were none of the advert campaigns you speak of.

The adverts that were run, mostly discussed "keeping the sanctity of marriage".

Please do some homework before stating atrocities that are this inaccurate.

The people of California did not sway their vote because of some advert campaign anyways. This subject has been put to a vote before, and since then, with the same outcome. This is not to say I believe it's right -- only stating the facts.

Regardless, open source has nothing to do with sexuality. Nothing. Who cares!? Do what you do, so long as you contribute something to the project.
