Can I work at Mozilla if I think homosexual behavior is caused by environmental stimuli like childhood trauma, not a genetically immutable attribute like race?

Can I work at Mozilla if I think homosexual behavior is caused by environmental stimuli like childhood trauma (usually complete rejection by people of the same sex), and is not a genetically immutable attribute like race?

What if I think homosexual behavior isn't beneficial to society but am close friends with people who experience homosexual attraction but don't condone the behavior just as I have friends who have committed adultery but I don't condone that behavior?

Your recent political stance implies that if I disagree with your politics I am:

1. A modern day slave owner and basically hate people who practice homosexuality and seek to harm them 2. I am a danger to others around me 3. I am unfit to lead a tech company because this issue is the most important thing in all of life 4. Because of this I should be excluded from society and not be allowed to be employed at any company or make money or succeed 5. My behaviors are somehow not genetically predetermined but are rather caused by me being a bad and awful person unfit to be a part of society or have any influence on another

Can you please clarify how believing that homosexual activities is a behavior that someone can choose not to do, is not beneficial to the person doing it, and is not a genetically immutable attribute makes me treat anyone with anything other than kindness? Since I do treat everyone with kindness, including people who do homosexual acts, why am I unfit to be CEO? Furthermore, even if I am wrong why people practice homosexuality, why does that make me unfit to be CEO? People are wrong about all kinds of things all the time.

Since this forum is a place primarily for volunteers and fellow Firefox users to provide technical support for Mozilla products and not a general place for discussing policies, I'm also going to close this thread. Should you have any concerns on the subject that you want to discuss with Mozilla, please take them to the governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.

Thank you!

The Mozilla board would not have promoted him from CTO to CEO if they did not support him right?.

I get the feeling that you think Mozilla only found out about his certain 2008 donation (which is public record) only after he became CEO and then fired or forced him out when that is not the case.
