He wants Mozilla to be inclusive, while also supporting the exclusion of gay people from marriage. The hypocrisy of bigots is astounding.
Has he said that he wants Mozilla to be inclusive? I thought he only said that he would commit to making sure that Mozilla would follow its stated goals and ideals, and ensure the "inclusive health benefits policies will not regress in any way".
That's not the same as saying he wants Mozilla to be inclusive. There are any number of CEOs who have policies in place that they personally disagree with, but enforce none-the-less. (As a simple example, EEOC anti-discrimination policies, but also any other policy required by the Board of Directors/shareholders which the CEO disagrees with.) I don't think that makes them hypocrites.
It may make their ability and competence to carry out those policies suspect, but that's not hypocrisy, no? "Cognitive dissonance" seems like a closer concept, but I'm not sure.
