Eich had the freedom to donate his hard earned money to an anti-gay cause. LGBT supporters had the freedom to make blog posts and tweets about their opinions on the matter.

The only group that had it's freedom threatened was the group of individuals targeted by the prop 8 law. Denizens of the internet could have spared Eich their ire if they were so inclined. Eich could have apologized if he were so inclined. Mozilla could have stuck by Eich if they were so inclined. Everybody acted in their own interest and Eich's resignation is a consequence of that fact.
