Anti-Gay Marriage Mozilla CEOResigns After Backlash

Brendan Eich Resigns, Technology News

Brendan Eich, the newly named CEO of the software firm Mozilla Corporation,

resigned from the post after angering gay rights activists and some in the tech

industry for his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Eich's views on gay marriage came to light in the days following his appointment last

week to run Mozilla, best-known for its Firefox browser. News re-emerged

(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/27/mozilla-ceo-prop-8-

_n_5042660.html) of a $1,000 donation he m ade in 2008 supporting California's

Proposition 8, an anti-gay marriage referendum.

Since then two former Mozilla developers

(http://www.teamrarebit.com/blog/2014/03/24/goodbye_firefox_marketplace/)

and the dating site OKCupid (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/31/okcupid-

mozilla_n_5065743.html), among others, have publicly condemned the software

development firm for appointing a known supporter of the anti-gay law -- voters

passed Prop 8, but it was later shot down by the Supreme Court. Critics urged that

web users try a different browser.

Mozilla initially tried to bat away concerns about Eich's ideology

(https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/03/29/mozilla-supports-lgbt-equality/).

The company explained in a blog post on Thursday

(https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/03/brendan-eich-steps-down-as-mozilla-

ceo/):

We didnt act like youd expect Mozilla to act. We didnt move fast enough to

engage with people once the controversy started. Were sorry. We must do better.

Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. Hes made this

decision for Mozilla and our community.

Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for

meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out

how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.

Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome

contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, g ender, gender-

identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious

views. Mozilla supports equality for all.

We hav e employees with a wide diversity of v iews. Our culture of openness

extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions

in public. This is meant to distinguish Mozilla from most organizations and hold

us to a higher standard. But this time we failed to listen, to engage, and to be

guided by our community.

While painful, the events of the last w eek show exactly why w e need the web. So

all of us can engage freely in the tough conversations we need to make the world

better.

We need to put our focus back on protecting that Web. And doing so in a w ay

that will make you proud to support Mozilla.

While there is no clear replacement in line for CEO, Mozilla executive chairwoma n

Mitchell Baker insisted that the company is not without options, saying in an

interview this morning that (http://recode.net/2014/04/03/mozilla-co-founder-

brendan-eich-resigns-as-ceo-and-also-from-foundation-board/) "[t]here are certainly

very talented people we have talked to, so we are not at ground zero by any means."

I have to side with Eich on this one.

If you can fire people for opposing same-sex marriage, you can fire people for

supporting it too.

If he had tried to take his First-Amendment right of free speech further, in the

direction of anti-gay policies in Mozilla itself, that would be different.

Boycott bad action, not bad beliefs.

I think that there is plenty of pettyness all around on this. For the gay rights

community that got hyper over a small and very old donation on a measure that, at

the time, actually passed. For the CEO who could have diffused the situation with

a personalstatement supporting marriage equality. And for Mozilla, for saying all

about how it welcomed diversity of opinion and then forcing the resignation of

somebody who had a different opinion.

Honestly though, the market was already showing firefox the door. It is being

creamed by Chrome as the alternate browser of choice.

He was free to say and to do what he wanted to, and the ex-users of Mozilla are

free to stop using the software if they do not want to support a company managed

by an homophobic. Actions have consequences. His bigotry against homosexuals

gave a bad image to the company that he worked. So he decided to resign, no one

fired him. Nobody forbade him to keep supporting laws against homosexuals. he's

free to be an homophobic, and people are free to disagree with him. Go ahead, be

a bigot... just don't expect to lead or inspire. Freedom goes both ways.

Bill Thacker (wbthacker)(/social/wbthacker?action=comments) 9SUPER USER 563 Fans Can YOU pass the Turing Test?

Yeah. It spoke over the Chick-Fil-A controversy, too, and I didn't like that speech

so much. It spoke when bigots boycotted the first companies to protect gay

employees from discrimination, and the first companies to offer domestic partner

benefits.

The market is raw power, not justice. The market shouldn't be a tool for judging

peoples' past actions. I experienced how terrible and unfair the market can be to

progressive causes, so now I hesitate to unleash that force on others.

In this case, we're using the market against a guy who supported a cause most

Californians voted for. So shall we boycott California next?

Cue the reactionaries who will compalin about LGBT bullying, restricting the

"freedom of speach". They will claim that LGBT intolerance has denied another

person of a job. Somehow, they will forget the intolerance practiced by the anti-

equality folks.
