This happened at Mozilla.

  That was the CEO though. Leaders will always (and should always) be treated differently than employees when it comes to personal views. Leaders often become de facto company spokespersons, and being outspoken against a lifestyle that your subordinates may engage in can have a lot of negative impacts at work, if your opinion is not clearly the majority opinion. This is especially true of the CEO—the 'face' of the company and main decision-maker. So, I don't think what happened at Mozilla is a good example of the whole "guy in the corner" thing.

    I've never been to Mozilla, so I have no idea what actually goes on in there.

        I know, but I'm not sure CEO is a standard unit. Was/is Brenden Eich a "guy in the corner"? I have no idea because I've never worked with him. Does the CEO of Mozilla perform any type of leadership role? I also don't know, as I've never worked there or been there while others were working.

          I know right, I mean what is a "programmer," really? What is a job? What is life? ...Is this the Matrix??

            All, excellent questions.

        Because he donated $1k to an anti-gay group 6 years prior. That is pathetic. Do I agree with his views? No. Who cares. He's the creator of the Javascript language. He made a small donation.
