Mozilla, to say nothing of its partners and customers, is free under the law to hire and fire executives for almost any reason it sees fit (with exceptions; it surely would have faced civil-rights litigation if it had fired him for advocating gay marriage), and OKCupid, which boycotted Mozilla in protest of Mr. Eich’s views, is perfectly within its rights to do so, as were the protesting employees.

The nation’s full-time gay-rights professionals simply will not rest until a homogeneous and stultifying monoculture is settled upon the land, and if that means deploying a ridiculous lynch mob to pronounce anathema upon a California technology executive for private views acted on in his private life, then so be it. The gay agenda of the moment is, ironically enough, to force nonconformists into the metaphorical closet

Unless, that is, you’re the anti-gay-marriage candidate that all the pro-gay-marriage people voted for in 2008, in which case you get a pass, apparently on the theory that everybody assumed you were being willfully dishonest for political reasons. (That assumption provides a relatively rare point of agreement between homosexual activists and the editors of this magazine.) There simply is to be no disagreement, no dissent, and no tolerance for other points of view.

Didn't see it yesterday. Was in the NR editorial?

Kicked out for having an opinion. Awesome!

I'm pretty far left but this is BS. Funny thing is that he is the co-founder and was the CTO so it's not like he won't be involved at some level and won't be making millions.

You want them to be tolerant of intolerance?

You really want them to answer that?

Looks like the left supports the idea that someone should lose their job for having an opinion.

Eich stepped down himself.

I RA's one that I didn't recognize, think he had a Georgia Tech logo by his name. There were a couple of the usual no-class suspects in the thread as well though. It's the type of crap that gets in the way of decent debate on a relevant topic on there though...

What a trite response. So disingenuous. How about them being tolerant of religious views. Why do you hate Muslims? Bigot.

How is someone having an opinion about something being intolerant?
If an individual doesn't condone homosexuality, but does not let that opinion affect others (both in personal and professional life), why should they be persecuted and deemed intolerant?
If anything, activist are more guilty of intolerance for actually forcing their beliefs about homosexuality on others and yielding punishments for those who don't agree.
How can you not see this?

So, "tolerant" now equals agreeing with EVERYTHING exactly the way I think you should agree with it?
Got it.

I don't see the problem here. No one infringed on his rights. This is the free market at work.
Also, no one forced him out.
