Eich doesn't seem interested in shaping Mozilla's value to be anti-LGBT.

I am an atheist, but I am okay with theistic CEOs as long as they don't try to shape the company's value to be theistic. I do have a problem if CEO wants company-wide religious ceremony.

What about a theistic CEO who would found a campaign against atheistic marriage?
What about a theistic colleague who would fund a campaign against atheistic marriage? (More appropriate analogy would be someone who would fund the goal of establishing a national religion.) Will I refuse to work with such colleagues?

If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah as a CEO, but okay as a colleague, this doesn't seem to help depriving the campaign blah from being funded (as long as someone didn't plan to increase donation from increased remuneration as a CEO). If the position is to be against someone-who-would-fund-blah both as a CEO and a colleague, I am not sure I support that position.

The main point being, while setting company-wide policy is greatly helped by being CEO, funding campaigns is less so.
