This interview is absolutely damning.

Eich repeatedly uses the Mozilla Foundation as a shield to protect himself, saying that Mozilla is being threatened, when it is he who is the cause of these actions against Mozilla. He is showing that he has no qualms about using the foundation to protect himself.

There is no longer a question that the man is a homophobe who believes in using state power to enforce religious persecution on a specific minority group. He says, "This group of people can't do this religious thing because it offends me, and the state must prevent them from doing it." And, he voted for it with his wallet, and affirmed that vote with this interview.

Marriage is a religious institution. My personal opinion is that the state has no business being involved in marriage, including for reasons of taxes and other special privileges. There are good historical reasons for these laws, but they are no longer valid and we will need to change them, and can do so without harm to any particular group (except for those who want to enforce their own beliefs upon others, which is sadly common.)

CEO is a very particular position. It's the moral and character leadership role of a company, and having a homophobe in this position is a serious problem. For me, an intolerable problem.
