Your comment on the Eich case doesn't make any sense, and seems completely irrelevant to the first part where you talk about 'sexism, sexual harassment etcetera' being rationalised. The reason that people were defending him was because nothing actually had happened at Mozilla.

He's been there since the Mozilla foundation was started but the chairman of the board said she was surprised about a political donation six years ago "because I never saw any kind of behavior or attitude from him that was not in line with Mozilla’s values of inclusiveness," but apparently you, who I can presume don't know him at all can say with all certainty that he is a 'raging homophobe.'

If there was any evidence that he had ever discriminated against any of his coworkers in his duties at Mozilla or treated any badly because they were LGBT, then you would have a point, but there wasn't.
