"It's time to start sticking up for ourselves" Can you clarify what group does "ourselves" reference?
There is a stark contrast with how Drew Houston of Dropbox defended Condi Rice vs Mozilla's lack of effort in defending someone that instrumental part of what Mozilla is today. https://blog.dropbox.com/2014/04/our-commitment-to-your-righ... His pointed response is short and stern. "We’re honored to have Dr. Rice join our board" Mozilla's was apologetic. "We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act. We didn’t move…

Probably people with other opinions than the masses.
Proposition 8 was an opinion of the masses: it received 7,001,084 (52.24%) of the votes.

However one feels about the result, only a fascist would want to shove that bit of history down the memory hole.
