Maher: “There Is A Gay Mafia — If You Cross Them, You Do Get Whacked”

In the online-only “Overtime” portion of his HBO show Real Time, host Bill Maher weighed in on the Mozilla controversy, and did not react in a way that you would think. Maher seemed to disagree with gay rights activists for targeting Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich because of a 2008 donation to support a ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California.

“Well, and he gave it when President Obama was still against gay marriage. So, I don’t think it’s very fair,” Carrie Sheffield of Forbes said.

“Good point,” Maher responded.

“I think there is a gay mafia,” Maher said. “I think if you cross them, you do get whacked.”
