Eich Says Not Stepping Down as Mozilla CEO
- duncan_bayne 13y agoThought experiment: what if Eich were a Muslim who had donated to his local mosque? Would the pitchforks be out then? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_Islam http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_Islam Clarification: I'm an atheist who is completely supportive of gay marriage. I also think that some religions and philosophies get a free pass for bigotry, and others don't. That makes me sad, angry, or resigned depending upon my mood at the time.
- drewrv 13y agoYou can be a muslim (or catholic, or whatever) who disagrees with the leadership on particular issues. Or some people think it's acceptable for religions to prefer one idea of family while realizing the government should accommodate all families. Eich supported a very specific cause, banning gay marriage in California.
- duncan_bayne 13y agoPlease re-read my post; I very specifically mentioned financial donation to an organisation opposed to gay marriage.
