re: #229 Killgore Trout

You might not like it but I think it’s important to realize that not all supporters of gay marriage support the tactics of targeting opponent’s jobs. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

Look, Mozilla faced the possibility of losing talent if the bigoted Eich remained CEO. How would it look if he started making recommendations like ditching benefits for same sex couples, hiring fewer non-hetero people, etc?

Mozilla isn’t like a “normal” tech company, it’s open source, wants to attract top talent, and be as innovative and creative as possible and can’t afford to have a reputation as a place where some aren’t welcomed.

Eich was the freaking CEO and as such had a lot of say in day to day operations, policy, etc. You can’t have someone like him over people he has no use for and whose rights he doesn’t believe in.

I just can’t believe he got the job in the first place if his beliefs were already known by those who promoted him.
