I find…[Mozilla’s executive chairwoman Mitchell Baker’s] words chilling. [Brendan] Eich did not, as far as I can find and I’m willing to be proved wrong, say anything inflammatory or hateful, he merely disagreed with some people on an issue, one that did not even exist as an idea before the millennium. It was ”˜controversial’ only in the sense that the media-Left use the word, to mean ”˜ideas we disagree with and therefore deem beyond the pale’ (likewise ”˜divisive’, another weasel word employed to dull the mind into submission).
(Spectator) Ed West–The Mozilla controversy suggests that the sexual revolution is getting ugly

Duh. Ed West speaks the truth. But the fact is actually that things started to get ugly in many social contexts some time ago. It has been politically incorrect to be opposed to the pro-gay agenda, or the no-fault divorce laws, or the whole “pornification” of our culture, in some influential circles for decades. Not least in our elite, trend-setting universities, and especially in the mass media.
There is such a thing as the Fundamentalism of the Left. And it’s uglier and more oppressive than the Fundamentalism of the Right.
