  Instead of a long list of tweets, an actual story with an interview or response would have been ... informative.

  I think its silly to expect he can't keep his own political views on issues without having them muddied up with his work. Javascript is great technology. I couldn't care less what he did in his free time.

  There is something to be said for the double standard here.

  Pro Prop8 isn't necessary homophobic. The question is about marriage and there are a whole bunch of legitimate reason someone who likes gays might not wish them permission to marry (not that it should be their choice in the first place).
