OKCupid protests Mozilla CEO's anti-same-sex marriage stance by denying Firefox users access to the dating website

Earlier this week, the popular dating service OKCupid publicly bashed Mozilla by disallowing people using the company's web browser, Firefox, from accessing the website. Mozilla's new CEO, Brendan Eich, supported California's anti-same-sex bill Proposition 8 with a $1000 donation made in 2008. OKCupid found this to be unforgivable and asked users to boycott the company.

Firefox users trying to access the dating website this week received the following message, detailing the reasons behind OKCupid's decision to boycott Mozilla:

"Hello there, Mozilla Firefox user. Pardon this interruption of your OkCupid experience.

"Mozilla's new CEO, Brendan Eich, is an opponent of equal rights for gay couples. We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access OkCupid.

"Politics is normally not the business of a website, and we all know there's a lot more wrong with the world than misguided CEOs. So you might wonder why we're asserting ourselves today. This is why: we've devoted the last ten years to bringing people-all people-together. If individuals like Mr. Eich had their way, then roughly 8% of the relationships we've worked so hard to bring about would be illegal. Equality for gay relationships is personally important to many of us here at OkCupid. But it's professionally important to the entire company. OkCupid is for creating love. Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame, and frustration are our enemies, and we wish them nothing but failure."

Firefox users are provided with a link to other web browser services in the message as well.
