Microsoft Comes Under Fire for Reversal on Gay Rights Bill
If ever there were a day to download Firefox and dump Internet Explorer, it's today.
As James laments, the Washington State Senate, controlled by Democrats, failed to pass a non-discrimination bill there by ONE vote. Certainly a factor was Microsoft's sudden abandonment of a bill it had previously supported, probably under pressure from an evangelical leader who threatened a boycott.
Washington has been trying to pass this bill for 30 years. Illinois finally passed its version of the bill this year after a similarly long struggle. What is it about not being able to fire people for being gay that's so hard for people to accept?
