I'm quite disappointed by all this drama going on around this subject. It makes me question the very progressive community for its zeal to tarnish and boycott a man for holding an unfavorable view.

I find it interesting how no one cared about it while Eich was a CTO all these years. Now suddenly he's homophobic and dangerous. He's about to oppress gay people.

It's like a witch-hunt. He made a donation 6 years ago therefore he's a gay hater and will ruin everything. Meanwhile, Mozilla is one of the most open companies I know. And I can not recall a single gay related issue.

As for Eich's view against gay marriage - it may not be popular or progressive, but it is a legitimate opinion to hold. And given his ethical track record in the company, I do not think he deserves the smear campaign that is currently unfolding against him.
