oped: Mr.Eich invented Java Script and started Mozilla FireFox he was not forced into resigning...he stepped down as CEO to avoid further conflict and giving the Gay Mafia further ammo and fodder...he still owns part in Mozilla/Firefox and he still believes in Marriage between one man one woman!
However the board at Mozilla needs to wake up and not make such pathetic comments..Mr Eich as well as anyone else has every right to believe in their religious convictions...the Gay Mafia [LGBT & GLAAD] is akin to Hitlers Pink Swastika party!

Earlier this week, Mozilla (Firefox) CEO Brendan Eich resigned after activists started a petition demanding he openly support same-sex marriage or be fired immediately if he refused to do so. Eich’s “crime”? He donated $1,000 – six years ago – in support of California’s Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage. (The law was ultimately overturned by the courts.)
Now, several conservative gays have denounced Eich’s forced resignation, with this tweet summing it up nicely:
Well-known conservative (gay) radio talk show host Tammy Bruce also slammed Mozilla for driving out Eich and turning the company into a “bastion of intolerance and punishment.”
Even HBO’s Bill Maher and gay liberal Andrew Sullivan have weighed in, with Sullivan proclaiming: “If this is the gay rights movement today … then count me out.”
In a statement issued Saturday on the official Mozilla blog, the company claimed that Eich resigned “for the good of the company.”
“Mozilla’s mission is to make the Web more open so that humanity is stronger, more inclusive and more just. This is why Mozilla supports equality for all, including marriage equality for LGBT couples. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves the same rights and to be treated equally.”Yeah, “inclusive” and “equality for all” for everyone except Brendan Eich. In today’s “progressive” America, people like Mr. Eich obviously do not “deserve the same rights and to be treated equally.”
Eich didn’t discriminate against gays – or anyone else – at Mozilla; he had only been promoted the week before the concocted firestorm began. Yet, the rabid left was successful in orchestrating his ouster.
Have we really arrived at a point in America when the CEO of a company – or anyone else – can be forced to resign or be fired over his or her thoughts or beliefs – vs. actions?
Incidentally, the group responsible for circulating the petition – Credo Action – says this is “only the beginning.” It has vowed to seek the ouster of “every CEO in America” who fails to openly support “marriage equality.”
The left ridicules conservatives who claim that freedom of speech is under attack in America. Is there a better recent example?
