Well, that was fast. OkCupid's
strong stance surely helped. And staffers at Mozilla who'd protested,
and company directors who'd resigned as a result of his appointment, can
now work in a hate-free zone.
And a quick civics primer: Freedom
of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. This man donated
money to a campaign designed to keep LGBT people from full equality and
to deny our families equal rights under the law. He was free to make
that choice, but we are free to hold him accountable. If he'd donated
money to White Supremacists to help outlaw interracial marriage, there'd
be little outcry over his ouster.
Mozilla
co-founder CEO Brendan Eich, who came under fire this week for donating
to a campaign to ban gay marriage in California, has resigned.
