Time2:
the wirer showed this opinion that she hated and opposed that ballot initiative, but she also observed that an individual's position on the policy question turns out to be a flawed proxy for his or her attitude toward gays and lesbians.  

Time3:
For Eich's donation to the campaign for Proposition 8 raised many objections from the staffs in the company and he was not saved by a blog post he wrote making these commitments to Mozilla employees.

Time4:
It isn't difficult to see the wisdom in inculcating the norm that the political and the professional are separate realms.

Time5:
It is a mess for Mozilla's belief both in equality and freedom of speech. Although Mozilla stated that it supports equality for all, yet it is mainly taking the position that it won't employ anyone holds orthodox christian or muslim views on gay marriage.

Time6:
Mozilla states that they haven't stay true to be themselves and didn't act like they would expect to be.
However, this apology was not accepted by the pubic and it is just a bad,self-inflicted blow.

Time7:
Although the marriage among the gays and lesbians will be permitted in the end yet the win is actually an ugly, illiberal footnote, appended because the winners  waged a pressure campaign that could be summed up just as "change your mind, or else."

[obstacle]
The ad launched by honey maid is deeply heartwarming not simply because it shows diversity, but because it labels these families with the word “wholesome,” which is exactly the kind of word that tends to get claimed by the evangelical right.
Although honey maid knew this ad would provoke controversy, it made the word love out of all that hatred.

Public views about gay marriage are weirdly inconsistent. The author is in faovr of gay marriage.

time3 3min40
Eich, the CEO of Mozilla, was forced to resign because his donation to pro-proposition 8, and his attitude provoked backlash against. His commitent failed to reverse
this awkward situation.

time4 4min多。。。没太看懂
大概是说 the belief that a CEO should be judged not just by his conduct in professional realm but by his political causes he or she supports as a private citizen would damage the society. 作者take the debate of abortion as an example to illustrate his viewpoint.

Honey Maid has launched a ad camgaign which involves gay families, single daddy families, military families.
Apart from the support, Honey Maid also received a considerable amount of disapprovement.
Can't remember the idea of the rest of the passage.
Only key words such as coca cola, super bowl...
There is a long way for Honey Maid to reach its goal.

spk : speaker not intended to define what sex she would be when she was young. she try to find who she is by photographing peoples are not 100% straight. she found that LGBT looks same like normal people, nothing different between them. most people are not truly straight,so why we should treat LGBT different as we are the member of them in actually.
spd : 1.48  M donated some money to P8 which ban same-sed marriage, author hated and opposed this bill and published a lot of pro-gay marriage commentary for public consumption. when face the problem of sexual orientation, people have different perspective.
       1.37 interaction led author think about BE's forced resignation, in actually, many American still think same-sex marriage is illegal. E's commitment to his employees.
       1.52 staffs in M think a leader should be judged not just by his conduct in the professsional realm, but also by political cause. but this attitude will ruin our society. think about the infinitly debate about abortion, behavior like M company would certainly have a chilling effect on political speech and civic participation.
       2.10 M's statement is they welcome anyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity and so on, claimed they are openness and equality. but the forced resignation of BE belied this claim.
       2.03 not like they public speech, M even intolerant of others’ views as the Christianists.
       2.15 one conclusion of M told that they try to persuad BE to change the mind and issue an apology, but failed, so they force BE resigned from M. But author think BE's situation is only a illiberal story which appended by the winners.

Time 2 02:53.11
Eich donated $1000 for Proposition 8 six years ago.
Writer: a proponent to ban Proposition 8.
Time 3 02:14.46
Eich was forced to leave from his position because of the funding.
Time 4  03:09.05
Writers attitude:no one had any reason to worry that Eich, a longtime executive at the company, would do anything that would negatively affect gay Mozilla employees. It's almost as if that donation illuminated exactly nothing about how he'd perform his professional duties.
Time 5 03:12.09
"Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech," the company wrote. "Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard."
Writer's attitude: This is a mess.
Time 6 03:18.26
The rest: 02:41.73

Obstacle 10:42.94
Honey maid just launched a ad that used the word "wholesome" to depict a two-dad family. This ad caused a huge debate.

又是gay得话题，同性恋的人可以接受存在，但是真的不理解why?尤其不理解的是"东方不败"一类~
Honestly, I'm ...

云游兄，一直很有自己想法呢！之前看到一个说法：说同性恋不仅出现在人类中，还广阔存在于自然界其他物种中，当面临某种特殊情况某一性别大量死亡的时候，亦阴亦阳的中间群体就可以转化为那种匮乏的性别从而挽救这个种族。这样想来他们使命重大有木有= =而且感觉他们同时拥有了男性和女性的两种视角，所以同性恋界不是出了很多照亮人类进步的人么，比如牛顿啊，图灵啊。。。。（我的想法好奇葩，你随便看看）
