Oh the horror!
(theindependent) - Staff at tech company Mozilla are calling for CEO Brendan Eich to resign a week after he took the job, after it emerged that he gave donations to an anti-LGBT campaign.
Eich contributed $1,000 (£601.11) in support of California’ Proposition 8 in 2008, an initiative which opposed same-sex marriage.
His controversial donation was discovered on a public database, with Mozilla named as his employer, in 2012, the Telegraph reported.
Eich was made CEO of Mozilla, which is behind the Firefox web browser, in late March after his predecessor Gary Kovacs announced his resignation in April last year.
He was previously the organisation’s chief technology officer, and has been associated with Mozilla in its various guises since the 1990s.
According to Mozilla, Eich invented JavaScript, the Internet’s most widely used programming language.
