So Mozilla has to "act" the way some people "expect them to act". There was not even a ballot, poll or evaluation of the man in the position. It was a pretty ridiculous move to avoid bad press. Talk about to sticking to values like meritocracy.

It wasn't just bad press, someone here posted a link to a "biggish" organization in, I think, Australia where they were asking people to boycott Mozilla by not using it's software.

Also, OkCupid called them out on it extremely publicly.

Yes, even though their employees have contributed far more.

Neither OkCupid nor Proposition 8 appear anywhere in that list: it records donations to the Republican Party or candidates from ordinary employees of OkCupid's corporate parent, IAC.

Also, almost all of the donations predate OkCupid's acquisition by IAC in February 2011.
