Just curious. What about when he was CTO? I agree his beliefs and actions are gross, but why were their no calls for him to resign sooner?

Since you ask me: a CEO is the public representative of the company. It's also their job to shape the company's directions and values.

Eich doesn't seem interested in shaping Mozilla's value to be anti-LGBT.

I am an atheist, but I am okay with theistic CEOs as long as they don't try to shape the company's value to be theistic. I do have a problem if CEO wants company-wide religious ceremony.

What about a theistic CEO who would found a campaign against atheistic marriage?

What about a theistic colleague who would fund a campaign against atheistic marriage? (More appropriate analogy would be someone who would fund the goal of establishing a national religion.) Will I refuse to work with such colleagues?

If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah as a CEO, but okay as a colleague, this doesn't seem to help depriving the campaign blah from being funded (as long as someone didn't plan to increase donation from increased remuneration as a CEO). If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah both as a CEO and a colleague, I am not sure I support that position.

The main point being, while setting company-wide policy is greatly helped by being CEO, funding campaigns is less so.

There were. People held their noses because techies are often disturbingly weird but this is tolerated as long as they're productive and as long as they don't explode too badly in public. And Eich is a genius techie.

He also says that if this kills Mozilla, the ideas behind Mozilla are already dead - inclusiveness of all people.

Also, they didn't get a CEO for a whole year. It looks like there is no "better" one available.
