> Mozilla now cannot hire a LGBT employee without creating a hostile environment for them.

His private donations as an individual have nothing to do with necessarily creating hostile workplace environments.

No, but the hostile workplace environment that's (apparently) already there will probably not be helped by this move. http://tim.dreamwidth.org/1840066.html

This guy is seriously issuing a "trigger warning" about "legislative violence" for someone not agreeing with his views? Is he a Social Justice Warrior caricature or does he really believe this stuff?

I don't see why such content would belong on a company-sponsored blog, but claiming some guy who wants his country to not redefine "marriage" when they already offer civil unions to all is a member of a violent hate group is a bit much.

The views of someone in leadership in a company matter, and even if they're "personal", they will inevitably be taken up by others.

So even if it is not directly creating a hostile work environment, it does seems to be encouraging one.

So "how much will this influence your role as CEO, as the prime manager of all those people?" is a valid question he has to answer to - and well.
