But a CEO is expected to lead representing certain values. Often a CEO is chosen exactly due to their values and expected to further them through leadership. You would also think it was weird if the Mozilla CEO was funding campaigns against open standards or open source. Whatever your personal stance on marriage, Mozilla as organization had one stance which the CEO strongly opposed. So it would not be crazy to expect he would want to change their policies.

The damage control strategy was to insist that his values would not affect Mozilla, which is kind of a weird stance to have as CEO.

> would that mean I don’t think other people shouldn’t be able to make up their own minds, and decide for themselves how to live their own lives?

In this context it is worth noting prop 8 was exactly about preventing other people from living their lives a certain way. There is a big difference between disagreeing with somebody life choices and then to actively try to destroy their marriage!
