Would it be better if he publicly lied about his views?

He cant(he donated publicly).

Now he is free to believe what's he wants to believe,just as you and I are free to have an opinion about the subject.Humans are not perfect we all have some level of bigotery and prejudice,noone can deny that. Even I who is pro gay rights.

Are we promoting an environment where you have to announce all the "correct" political positions to gain employment?

Only if you are a public figure in that company,and the CEO obviously is.

He is in the tech business,where these issues are becoming important today. Misogyny,racism at the work place are important subjects right now,we all saw what happened with github and how it can hurt a brand.

It's all about wether Eich as CEO will hurt Firefox and Mozilla brand or not, I believe it will.




He cant(he donated publicly)

You presume that people can't change their opinion.


I presumed nothing, i just said he cant lie about the fact that he did support prop8.
