> If I voted for Mitt Romney because of his tax proposals, does that mean I support...well, his likely use of wanton drone attacks?

If you like someone as a CEO because of their leadership qualities, does it also mean that you support their stance on gay rights, though?

No, but that's one removed from the matter at hand. The concerns were with Eich, not with people who thought Eich would be a good CEO.

But was Eich's stance on Prop 8 relevant to his post as Mozilla's CEO?

I'm sure many people did, but I don't know how reasonable that was, or how much Mozilla, as a company, will promote an anti-gay agenda because its CEO supports these views (if he does, I don't know him and haven't been following this story closely).
