I thought Brendan Eich resigned. Is there any evidence he was ejected, and furthermore ejected because of which issues he donated to?

He did resign.

Specifically, he resigned due to protest/pressure relating to his 1000 dollar donation in support of prop 8 (which would have banned gay marriage in CA).

It seems inconceivable to me that his resignation was unrelated to this. An excerpt from his resignation announcement:

> I have decided to resign as CEO effective today, and leave Mozilla. Our mission is bigger than any one of u, and under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader.
