Nothing to be proud of.
Via Mashable:
Count OkCupid among those celebrating the resignation of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich on Thursday.
The dating site protested Mozilla on Monday by discouraging users to visit its site via Firefox, in an attempt to bring awareness to Eich’s 2008 political donation in support of Proposition 8. The ballot measure, which outlawed gay marriage in California, passed but was later ruled unconstitutional. OkCupid’s stunt attracted media attention, and added to displeasure around the web about Eich’s political views and the company’s decision to promote him to CEO in late March.
The news was appreciated at OkCupid. The company released the following statement through a spokesperson:
“We are pleased that OkCupid’s boycott has brought tremendous awareness to the critical matter of equal rights for all individuals and partnerships; today’s decision reaffirms Mozilla’s commitment to that cause. We are satisfied that Mozilla will be taking a number of further affirmative steps to support the equality of all relationships.”
