“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.”
Users attempting to access the OKCupid website through Firefox will now be interrupted with the following message, which calls out Mozilla's new CEO Brendan Eich for being “an opponent of equal rights for gay couples.”
Eich caused controversey in 2012 when it was revealed he had made a personal $1000 donation in support of California's Prop 8 in 2008.
The message urges Firefox users to “consider different software” for accessing their site.
The Mozilla Foundation, which funds the Firefox browser, made the announcement concerning the hiring of Eich as its new CEO on March 24th.
Eich, the inventor of JavaScript, acted as the organization’s chief technology officer since 2005.
