Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO

What if had been donating to the KKK instead? Do you think he could accurately represent his employees of color?

Or for a less cut-and-dry example: If he had donated to Pro-Life organizations, would you expect him to be accepted as CEO of Planned Parenthood?

Your socio-political views and activities have consequences. If you believe strongly enough in them, you will weather them. His views and activities certainly had consequences for a lot of California families.

There are probably lots of pro-life CEOs running companies that are not related to abortion.

And there are probably lots of anti-gay people as CEOs of companies that don't make equality and openness a core value of their mission statement.
