Eich had donated $1,000 in support of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the Golden State. In April 2014, Eich resigned from the California-based tech company after the disclosure of a 2008 political donation sparked public controversy. The previous yellow-costumed man later added that former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich should instead have been 'shamed'. "Yeah." the man said, "I mean, you know, life sucks sometimes," he answered bluntly. "The CEO of Mozilla lost his job because he supported traditional marriage, are you OK with that?" Watters asked a man in a white costume with matching parasol. "I would have to say, no," the face-painted man responded. "Can I have a 'straight pride parade' if I wanted to," Watters asked an attendee. "I can't help it though, I'm sorry," the man said.Īs Watters and the paradegoers later witnessed, the young man was not the least scantily-dressed participant.
"I'm going to go out on a limb," Watters said to a young man sporting only boxer-briefs and a cap, standing in the middle of a closed street: "you look a little promiscuous." "Well, we can't procreate then," Watters said, eliciting a laugh from the woman: "Oh well," she said. "Hell yeah, a gay world," a woman said, "everyone will be gay." "What's the next step in the gay rights movement? Do you want a gay president?" the correspondent asked a pair of paradegoers. "I've been out of the closet for quite some ti- many moons," he added. "They are important because people actually do 'come out of the closet' when they come here," the man answered. "Do you still need these parades, even though you guys can get married in California?" Watters asked a man in a yellow costume holding numerous tubular balloons. It might be yeah," the man sheepishly answered. "Keep it in your heart, keep it private," another man later opined on the belief in traditional marriage, "But don't shove it down someone's throat." "Isn't the gay pride parade shoving something down other people's throat?" Watters asked in response. "I kind of believe that is becoming dated either get with the program or go away with the dinosaurs," one of the men answered. "What if you have a religious conviction: if you believe marriage is between a man and a woman," he later asked them. "Are you guys sure you don't like girls?" Watters asked, receiving blank stares from both men. He first happened upon a duo wearing bright purple costume dresses, each sporting a matching purple parasol. Later, Watters met up with some of the citizens who had dressed up in showy costumes for the parade. Leno is the first openly gay legislator in the California State Senate, first elected in 2008. "They're not at all," Leno said, "Lot of room very comfortable." he responded. "Love the pants-but the pants look a little tight," Watters said.
Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), and commented on his choice of attire for the occasion: Watters later met another legislator, State Sen. "Eh, but I believe in equality," the lieutenant governor responded. "Does it make you a bigot if you don't believe in traditional marriage," Watters asked Newsom. "44 percent of Americans now have the same rights my wife and I have, it's a good thing!" Newsom responded. Newsom, Happy Gay Pride Parade," Watters greeted the city's former mayor, Gavin Newsom (D), now the state's Lieutenant Governor. This week, O'Reilly Factor correspondent Jesse Watters traveled to San Francisco, California to visit the city's annual Gay Pride Parade.
