Brendan Eich was a Dark Programmer of the Netscape, so powerful and so wise he could use the scripts to influence the sexuality to create gay… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from straight.

Still, it's just a name change, so, aside from a few lines of code to change, it doesn't badly affect anyone. All power to the author
