Because that's what Proposition 8 was, an attempt to constitutionally remove marriage rights from gay people after the California courts ruled that it was allowed.
I think I'd be pretty uncomfortable making money for a person who would turn around and it to take away my / my family's rights.
If your "partner" is dying in the hospital, you don't have a legal right to be allowed to see them.
If your "spouse" is dying in the hospital, you do.
That's one example.

I'm assuming dralley didn't know (is not lying), so my advice is to check incendiary claims and avoid parroting sources you have not checked. HTH!
Comes off as nothing more than jealous spite. Certainly not what one would call a very Christian attitude.
The axis of "heterosexuality" and "homosexuality" itself is no older than the 20th century, and even the concept of monogamy is relatively new as far as Abrahamic religious tradition goes.
Sure, sex is an integral part of marriage but it's not the most important one, by far. It's much more about love and sharing life IMO.
I don't understand why what happens in a private bedroom between consenting adults is such a problem.
Besides, marriage is now entirely decoupled from making babies. Some people might wish it weren’t the case, but it is.
It was in the discussion around the referendum on gay marriage which passed.
The fundamental thing with politics is that there will be disagreement, and things will be voted on, and positions on those will be campaigned on.
As far as I know Eich didn't publicize those stances, someone dug them up. That is, there was a job, and there was personal politics, as is professional.
I understand the folks who wanted that and why they wanted that. But it still turned Mozilla and Firefox into walking corpses.
Mozilla's problem is that its organization (the collective outcome of its employees) is extremely arrogant. Arrogant about technical choices, arrogant about product design choices, arrogant about the way they do PR (including shaming a developer after he died), and arrogant about political/ethical choices as well. That's not to say they aren't ever right, but an organization that approached political topics where Americans are evenly divided with a bit of humility might have an easier time hiring just as an organization that approached product design topic where it's users are evenly divided with a bit of humility might have an easier time finding a good design. Humility helps, and Mozilla has none of it.
There's actively woke techies (of which there are quite a few), but then there are also techies who just have a huge distaste for cultural conservatism, and of those there are many.
They're competing against Apple, Google, and Microsoft simultaneously. It is entirely possible that could have been the best CEO in the world and Firefox could still be in the same exact position right now, or one that is only marginally better.
Conformity is not just a problem for politics. Read TFA - these are all conformity problems - Mozilla gets angry at people who disagree with their point of view - whether it is that tabs belong on top or that Eich is an evil abusive person or that Proton is surely better than XUL. A company that better tolerated diversity in their employees would be better set up to tolerate diversity in their users.
Proton has literally nothing to do with XUL, so if this is something you believe they think, then they'd be right to be annoyed about people with no clue what they're talking about spreading FUD.
That is like complaining that KDE is better than QML files or that GNOME is better than .glade files. Or that Chrome is better than HTML and JavaScript. Utterly nonsensical.
I hope you can get over your anger at me and comment on market share. Excusing Mozilla's woes with "no CEO could have done better" hypotheticals is weak. Such CEO performance should in any event not be rewarded with >$3M/year.
