That's exactly my point, there were two wrong decisions here:
- Brendan Eich giving one thousand dollars to support denying rights to part of the US population.
- The board of directors of Mozilla not foreseeing the PR mess this already was when he was a CTO and not thinking it will show up again if they named him CEO.I'm not gay but have many friends that are. How would you feel if you were gay and the newly appointed CEO of your company was so against your rights that was willing to put money out of his wallet to prevent you from marrying?
And yes, corporations should care about how the public opinion perceives them, the CEO is the most visible actor so his public affairs are related to the company.
