Mozilla has the right to choose whoever they want as CEO (and this isn't a First Amendment issue).
They are being hypocritical in claiming because they are all about diversity (including religious diversity) and so someone who 6 years ago donated $1000 to help Prop 8 has to go. They apologized for hiring such a person who apparently deeply violated the core values of Mozilla (one of which is tolerance).
So 100% of Mozilla employees must agree with gay marriage?
Had Mozilla manned up and said this guy is going to hurt our business then I could understand.
I've seen people defending Mozilla saying that because a CEO is the face of the company their personal views matter. That didn't seem to stop people from supporting Obama who held the same views as this guy at the time he made his donation.
Think like us or suffer the consequences.
