There's no need to appeal by lowering the bar so i can relate/understand. I have a politically progressive point of view, that goes totally against what we are referring here.
But lets not mix things up here. People that are conservatives and even homophobic in my experience have more to do with the cultural views of a giving period that they were raised and i think that in some cases, we must not take things lightly, but also give some time for them to rethink their values.
And im pretty sure that kicking these people on the teeth wont help them to get integrated at all. The only thing they will learn in to lie better and be a better hypocrite.
Here public/private boundaries are very important. So if the guy is tweeting about this point of view and damaging the image of the company, of course, this would be a good motive to fire him.
But if he believe this in private, dont force others in the company to follow his socio-political views and is good in what hes doing, even if you dont like his political views, we should not fire anyone because of this.
Pedophiles on the other way are people with very harsh psychological problems that may lead them to commit a very serious crime. You dont need to resort to this sort of rethorical trick to make me understand, as i already did before (you already have my empathy here as im on your side).
Really, with time we learn that we are all handicapped here and there, and by becoming more humble about that, we learn that we need to accept and work with people with a lot of different views, backgrounds and actions or else we are all getting cancelled.
We need to be more careful about social sidelining people, because we will just turn some people that were mildly into something to become real radicals and also at the same time losing good hands that would otherwise help us into build a better future.
What make the most harm to the society: A guy contributing in private, financially, to entities that lobby for policies that goes against gay people or a CEO and board with impeccable and fair social and political views but that end doing actions that harm the core of a company that is best know for their engineering culture, good products, open source and freedom values?
