Question: Why does any of this matter?
As someone for gay marriage, I really don't understand why the whole world is rioting, demanding for the resignation of the CEO.
Every article begins stating how he doesn't support gay marriage, and how that implies he's a terrible person, or Mozilla's eminent destruction. Yet, I've not heard anyone talk about why the board selected him, because I'm sure board saw many strong skills in the man, and thought he would do a fantastic job.
Why can't we see the good in people anymore? Why couldn't we work with the man to help him look at life in a different way?
I know we're fighting for a good cause, but people still matter. Remember: Honey before vinegar.
Update: why the down votes? Be constructive.

Mozilla and Firefox are a brand, now associated why homophobia since its CEO is clearly homophobic. So it's not difficult to understand how it could hurt (or not)Mozilla, and all it's employees. Maybe it wont, Chick-fil-A did not go bankrupt with its homophobic CEO, but for a brand in the tech world, things may be different.
- film42 13y agoWoah, just because someone doesn't support gay marriage does not mean they're homophobic. You're doing exactly what the second half of my comment talks about. And to be frank, I still eat at chic-fil-a. I think their lemonade is a little strong, but I never think of them as an anti-gay Resteraunt chain--because they're not.
- camus2 13y agobecause someone doesn't support gay marriage does not mean they're homophobic. Yes they are homophobic if they dont support the fact that gays should have the same rights as heterosexuals.
