If you want to be the CEO of a technology company, one thing you must love is gay sex. As Brendan Eich recently found out, if you do not love gay sex, you are likely to get harassed and end up either dead or jobless.
Eich ended up the latter, pressured into resigning when it came out he’d backed a bill to outlaw gay marriage in California.
From the Register:
In a blog post on Thursday, Mozilla cofounder and executive chairwoman Mitchell Baker wrote that Eich’s decision was voluntary and that he made it “for Mozilla and our community.”
“Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it,” Baker wrote. “We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it’s because we haven’t stayed true to ourselves.
“We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act. We didn’t move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We’re sorry. We must do better.”
Eich’s appointment as Mozilla’s chief exec spurred outrage among gay rights supporters after public records revealed that he contributed $1,000 to the campaign in support of Proposition 8, a divisive 2008 California ballot initiative that enshrined “one man, one woman” as the standard for marriage in the state’s constitution.
Although the bill was eventually struck down as unconstitutional under federal law, Eich’s support for it was seen as antithetical to Mozilla’s progressive public ethos, leading to calls for a boycott of the group’s Firefox web browser.
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper on Wednesday, Eich, a Mozilla cofounder, said his political beliefs were “personal” and that he had “kept them out of Mozilla all these 15 years we’ve been going.”
