Update was from 3 days ago, I'm really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.

It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.

What about the anti lgbt stuff? Thoughts…?

It is important to remember that turning down a pull request does not make a person (or project) anti-LGBT.

Sadly, I have seen bullying and brigading from people who claim to be supporting inclusiveness, more than a few times. That behavior alone would be enough to sour me on them personally, and on any change they had submitted.

And, of course, there are other perfectly valid reasons to decline a PR as well.

Asking for changes we would like to see is fine. Demanding them is not. Resorting to character assassination when we don't get what we want is absolutely not.

turning it down doesn't but raging over the idea and attacking the user does

Hey, quick question, what do you think of the lead developer of LadyBird calling Brendan Eich, known homophobe and CEO of Brave, "Senpai."

It's completely unrelated, right? He just doesn't know, right? I'm sure nobody ever tried telling him. Or maybe he's only capable of perceiving technical information, so the rest of Brendan's history never entered his head?

...Not at all, he's fully aware, and he regrets joining the people who spoke out against Brendan, something he only did to fit in. He should damn well know Eich is a homophobe if he's so smart, he just doesn't give a shit.
