This is difficult to compare. A donation to keep an existing right versus a donation to take an existing right away. For these to compare, it would have to be a donation toward a proposition that stripped women of the right not to have an abortion, which is nonsensical.
> His opinion is/was not extreme or unusual.
That's a horrible justification. There used to be majority support for slavery, segregation, anti-miscegenation, etc.
> Is it reasonable to expect the full-range personal of views (and voting patterns) of a CEO to be agreeable to every employee?
Like I said, I didn't want to get into who should be able to say what when. But if it's free speech for Eich to make that donation, then it's definitely free speech for people to protest against him for making it as well. Again, no one forced him out. He resigned voluntarily. The people complaining held zero power in Mozilla.

Even if you were a black employee? I'm not sure I could be so magnanimous, but kudos to you for that :D
