> He served as the Mozilla Corporation's chief technical officer before he was appointed chief executive officer, but resigned shortly after his appointment due to pressure over his opposition to same-sex marriage. He subsequently became the cofounder and CEO of Brave Software.
FWIW... I worked with Brendan @ Mozilla for over a year. Dude expressed zero problems with my queer lifestyle that I didn't hide. I think the problem people had with Brendan was not his opposition for same-sex marriage, but his support for an organization that opposed same-sex marriage. It's a subtle distinction, but one worth making. People are complex.
