The co-founder of Mozilla and creator of the browser Firefox, Brendan Eich, resigned his position as CEO of Mozilla after only a week on the job due to contributing $1,000 six years ago to the supporters of Prop 8 in California which supported the traditional definition of marriage.

The lesbian-gay-bisexual-transvestite (LGBT) community took to the Internet and submitted a petition with 70,000 supporters to Mozilla requesting the CEO either be fired or resign, which he did. Interestingly, President Obama held the same views as the CEO up to a year ago and we have not heard the hypocrites asking for the president’s resignation.

There has been a tidal wave of change in the public’s acceptance of the LGBT community over the past six years in part due to the left’s movie and television programing which portrays them in a favorable light. Plus, the suppression by the liberal media of violent acts committed by members of this community against others during this same time frame.

Mr. Eich has been a strong advocate of open source software, which is equated with freedom of speech, and he ran a tolerant work place where members of the LGBT community were employed.

The LGBT community has played the victimhood card to suppress freedom of speech. Since gaining political power with the Democrat party, we have seen the LGBT community flex its muscles and request the firing of numerous individuals who dared to express their free speech rights in opposition to the group. We are now seeing a movement to ban the word “homosexual” as they claim it is hurtful to the LGBT community.

Eight years ago the LGBT community told us all they wanted was to be accepted, respected, tolerated, and have the same rights to marry and conduct their personal affairs as the straight community. Now that they have largely achieved these goals with the help of Obama’s politicized Justice Department, we see them expressing the same intolerance, lack of respect, and unacceptance of the straight community that was once allegedly projected towards them.

Mozilla is now a great example of an intolerant, hostile workplace as all Muslims, Christians, and Jews with strong beliefs need not apply for work as they will be fired or asked to resign as soon as their views are known.
