Isn’t tolerance great? Well it would be if it were afforded to everyone. But as we’ve seen so many times with the let, tolerance only extends to those that agree with them. And this is a great example of that:
BUSINESS INSIDER – Some employees at Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the Firefox browser, are calling on new CEO Brendan Eich to resign.
Mozilla workers are upset with Eich because he supported Proposition 8 and donated to the politicians who backed it.Prop 8 was a Californian ballot-proposition banning same-sex marriage. It was officially rejected in February 2012.
But some employees at Mozilla, such as design researcher Emily Goligoski, feel that Eich’s decision to back Prop 8 goes against Mozilla’s core values as a company. Goligoski posted the following on Twitter:
To me, @Mozilla is about openness & expression of freedom. I hope to see us have leadership that represents those values in their actions.

Kat Braybrooke, curator and co-design lead at Mozilla, had the following to say:
Like many @Mozilla staff, I'm taking a stand. I do not support the Board's appointment of @BrendanEich as CEO. #Prop8 http://t.co/msKVNjuhgR

Mozilla’s Open Badges project lead Chris McAvoy sparked the Twitter conversation with the following tweet, which was initially spotted by Ars Technica.
I love @mozilla but I'm disappointed this week. @mozilla stands for openness and empowerment, but is acting in the opposite way.

It’s a bit surprising that Mozilla employees are speaking up about Eich now. He cofounded Mozilla in 1998, and prior to being CEO, he served as the company’s chief technology officer. He also widely respected for inventing the JavaScript Web scripting language in 1995.
Forget about all his great accomplishments. Forget about the fact the cofounded the company. Forget about the fact that he’s promised to treat fairly all LGBT employees as CEO. None of this matters to these leftist activists because he has a different opinion on homosexual marriage.
