I'll counter with Clarence Thomas. "I cannot endorse a view of the First Amendment that subjects citizens of this Nation to death threats, ruined careers, damaged or defaced property, or pre-emptive and threatening warning letters as the price for engaging in "core political speech, the 'primary object of First Amendment protection.' " - Dissenting in part, _Citizens United vs FEC_. Regarding Proposition 8, and the fact that the law compelled the disclosure of donors and made all this donation information public to begin with.

If at the time he made his donation the rules allowed his contribution to remain secret, then this is disturbing. If not, it's just that he is not suited to run the Mozilla Foundation after stating publicly he does not agree with one of the core values of the foundation and its contributors. If it were the case, he could have apologized and say he changed his mind. If he didn't change his mind, again, he is not suitable to run a foundation where many core contributors have strong moral feelings about equality.
