Bill Maher weighed in on the recent Mozilla controversy regarding its now former CEO.
In the web-exclusive “Overtime” portion of the show, Maher disagreed with gay rights activists for targeting Brendan Eich for making a donation in 2008 supporting Prop 8, the ballot initiative banning same-sex marriage in California.
Maher noted that “I think there is a gay mafia,” Maher said. “I think if you cross them, you do get whacked.”

TRANSCRIPT
MAHER: What do you think about the Mozilla CEO having to step down over his donation to a pro-Proposition 8 group.
The Mozilla — which I’m wearing right now, by the way. I didn’t know what Mozilla was. I saw it on my computer, but — it’s Firefix, right? It’s the browser.
So this guy apparently does not want gay people to get married and he had to step down. What do you think of that, the question asks.
FMR. REP. TOM DAVIS (R-VA): Because he gave $1,000 eight years ago and it’s come back to haunt him.
CARRIE SHEFFIELD, FORBES: Well, and he gave it when President Obama was still against gay marriage. So, I don’t think it’s very fair.
MAHER: Good point. Also, I think there is a gay mafia. I think if you cross them, you do get whacked.
