There's a difference between voting against a person, disagreeing with a person, witholding your own business dealings with the same, and rallying for support against someone's professional business based on their personal opinions. Essentially, in the current world, you're arguing that you are allowed to discriminate on a small scale based on someone's opinion, which is sort of true. Sure, you can't discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, but go ahead on everything else, please, right?
Brendan Eich made a personal comment that was not representative of the views of the entire office at Mozilla. The man's career shouldn't have to suffer for his personal views. This type of personal extortion is no different than firing a man for being straight, or gay. Would it have been morally right if Brendan Eich stated in his departure speech that the 'net in general, as well as all non-LGBT persons should boycott OKCupid as a dating site due to their anti-free speech and pro-gay agenda?
Either way, as much as I believe in LGBT rights, the first shot fired was by OKCupid, and it was uncouth and general BM.
