No, Mozilla would not appoint someone to CEO who donated $1000 towards a campaign on banning interracial marriage. However, not very long ago that was an acceptable, even common, personal opinion and people who publicly held it were appointed CEO without any qualms.

So yes, being against same-sex marriage is still OK as a personal opinion and does not stand in the way of being appointed CEO. The facts are your answer.

You are assuming that this change will be the same as that change. However, that is something history will show and that you cannot speed up by asking questions that only time will tell the answer to. This change is not yet the same as that change and consequently that change cannot yet be used as an argument for how to behave towards this change.
