If someone harassed me while I was waiting for the subway and tried to get me to quit my job, I definitely wouldn't want to work for them. I'd probably go out of my way to never use their product, actually. I don't see how this is any better than the "do you have a minute for ____" clipboard people that prey on tourists for donations/signatures on the sidewalk.
Sure, it's a free country. If someone doesn't want to exchange dollars for work hours anymore, for any reason, that should be totally fine.
I'd also stop giving that company money.
I wouldn't work for Mozilla if he was the CEO. I doubt they care about that specifically, but a lot of other developers probably feel the same. Good luck hiring any gay people. Employees were in revolt, one went on strike, etc.
The last few days were horrible. Not like my house burned down and I lost a limb horrible or people put me in prison and violating me horrible, but a lot of pressure, a barrage of anger and a feeling of helplessness. Also a feeling of betrayal and a feeling of being powerless.
Seriously? A rich old white guy has a lot of newfound free time. Who cares?
Life must be so rough for Brendan Eich right now. Wow, maybe he feels like a transgender person does every day!
I haven't used GTK in a long time, but when I was using it, I was under the impression that pygtk was being deprecated, and everyone should be using GObject-Introspection instead.
