Talk Hosts: Traditional Marriage Support Seen As Gay Hate

Rush Limbaugh
“What did Brendan Eich in was not that he gave $1,000 to support Prop 8 and stand for heterosexual marriage,” Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said on Monday. “They couldn’t have done that unless standing for heterosexual marriage equals — this is the key — equals hatred for homosexuals, reports CNSNews.

“Brendan Eich doesn’t hate gays,” Limbaugh said. “By definition, it’s not possible for him to accomplish what he’s accomplished, but that’s what he became – a man of hatred.

“And how were they able to pull that off? Limbaugh asked.

“Because for years they have been equating opposition to them with hatred,” Limbaugh said.

Mark Levin
“We’ve now moved from tolerance and benevolence to uniformity, conformity and coercion,” radio host Mark Levin said on Friday. “You must bake a cake for this wedding.

“You must never have made a contribution to this cause,” Levin said. “You must never have uttered these following words.”

Levin also noted that in 2008 – the year Eich made the donation – President Barack Obama was opposed to same-sex marriage.

Sean Hannity
“It seems to me that [Eich is] the victim of intolerance here,” radio host Sean Hannity said on Monday. “Look, the gay community has fought for – and I think the right word is tolerance – for many years.

“There is this intolerance out there because of maybe their religious faith, their upbringing – that if they take a position against gay marriage, that it must be rooted in some sort of bigotry or intolerance,” Hannity said.

Eich, co-founder of Mozilla, which makes the popular Firefox web browser, was appointed CEO on March 25, but resigned late last week after a backlash from critics unhappy with a $1,000 donation he made in 2008 to California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that opposed same-sex marriage.
