CEO is bullied into leaving post because his opinion isn’t politically correct. Presidents and CEO’s are under attack in a number of places.
Generally in the media they are portrayed as the big bad guys who steal from employees. In situations like this one where the CEO contributed to an organization. He did support in the benefit plans non-traditional marriage but that wasn’t enough.
“But the staunch opposition against Eich had nothing to do with any conceivable harm he could bring as CEO. It was all about intimidation. The idea was to punish Eich harshly and publically so that no one in his shoes would ever dare to support traditional marriage again.”
While private businesses have and should retain the right to do business as they see fit, whenever (highly) competent professionals are denied economic opportunities due to their beliefs, we should all be concerned. Freedom of conscience is a basic, fundamental principle of any democratic society. We cannot prosper as a nation without it.
