Programming couple Hampton and Michael Catlin, who developed Wikipedia mobile and the programming language Sass, are protesting the decision. They've pulled their apps from the Mozilla Marketplace and posted a lengthy opinion piece outlining their view.

"[Eich] won’t comment on the issue and has not acknowledged any change of opinion. Two years ago, he had an opportunity to change his mind and help change society for better. He has not in two years, and said he will not… so it’s hard to think that any public change of opinion at this time would only be to ensure his new powerful position at Mozilla.

By the very bones in our body, we cannot dare use our creativity, experience, knowledge, and passion to further the career of a man who has to this day not apologized for his support. I can’t spend hours and days and years polishing, building, and upgrading applications that make him richer than he is.

In an open letter to Mozilla, the couple explained they would boycott Mozilla until Eich was completely removed from day-to-day activities. "This makes us very sad, as we love the little guy fighting to make things better," they wrote. "But it’s because of our status as a minority that we simply can’t ignore this slap in the face of giving him a promotion to lead your organization."

After being approached by some anti-gay ministers, out actress Ellen Page took to Twitter this weekend to set things, ahem, straight. "Being gay isn't a belief," she explained. "My soul isn't struggling, and I don't want the arms of Heavenly Father around me. A girl's arms? Yes."

Page came out publicly in February in a heartfelt address at an HRC conference. "I’m here today because I am gay... and because maybe I can make a difference," The X-Men actress said at the time. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."

The justices are considering  Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties v. Sebelius, which hinge on whether or not a business owner must provide insurance options that violate their religious beliefs.

In this instance, its contraceptives—but it could just as easily be about partner benefits, HIV treatments and other LGBT health care issues. Writes Towleroad's Ari Ezra Waldman that if Hobby Lobby can omit coverage of birth control, "the owners of a catering hall could use that precedent to argue that they should be allowed to deny service to gay couples because they don't like gay marriages, gay persons, or gay lifestyles. It's a dangerous precedent to set."

It's believed billionaire businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, a former Russian presidential candidate, is shifting ownership to protect his assets should the U.S. raises economic sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Crimea.

"I am doing all that I can to own the basketball club through a Russian company," Prokhorov said, adding that the process "is going slowly."

Last year, the Nets skyrocketed in value to $780 million, making it the fifth most valuable team in the NBA.

"We come in here and we're all trying to do the same thing," said one All-Star. "Who cares what a guy does in his own time?" An unnamed infielder admitted some players might give an out player a hard time. "There will be a couple of jerks. But the majority of people are going to be like, 'So what?'"

With Collins in the NBA and Michael Sam likely to be drafted to the NFL, MLB is the last major pro sport without an out player. Glenn Burke, a player for the Oakland A's in the 1970s, is believed to be the only MLB player to have come out to teammates and owners while still an active player, but he did not go public with the news until after retiring.
