Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO (The New Blacklist)
The Mozilla Blog (Official Blog of Mozilla) ^ | April 4, 2014 | Mitchell Baker,

Posted on 04/03/2014 12:56:17 PM PDT by C19fan

Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it. 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.

Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He’s 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.

Get ready for the new Blacklist pushed by the homo fascists. So if your employer notices you attend services regularly at a church, etc, that opposes gay marriage does that mean you too can be fired or forced to resign???

Sorry, but Mozilla products are getting uninstalled on my machines for this bit of “diversity”.

I am not sure if I am answering your question but Eich was found to have given a $1,000 donation to the Prop 8 campaign in California, ban SSM, so for the $1k donation the homo-fascists demanded his scalp.

A career ruined because he supported traditional marriage in the 2008 California referendum.

Let that sink in for a second.

This country has truly degenerated into a marxist hellhole.

Mozilla has done it know. They have shown weakness to the gaystapo. They need to pay a big market price by users switching to other browsers and products.

They have some pretty strong backing because they are the spearpoint in the anti-Christian agenda.

We have employees with a wide diversity of views. 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.

Comments closed, so much for their support of diversity. If you are Christian or conservative keep your mouth shut and don't donate money to conservative causes or you will be fired.

Well, I use Chrome, but Google’s probably just as evil.

Yes... hard to pick these days, ain’t it? One group is just as evil as another.

President Obama said he was against gay marriage in 2008 and still said that less than 2 years ago. So is everyone who voted for him an evil bigot?
