As someone observing from outside the US, this entire issue confuses me.
This CEO doesn't hate gay people. He's not homophobic. He simply is against gay marriage, a view shared both culturally and legally by much of the USA.
Don't large organizations value diversity? Are only certain "diversities" allowed? Why the intolerance for those who have different opinions?
EDIT: I'm reading the thoughful replies. It seems that those against this CEO consider gay marriage a civil right's issue. But much of the USA doesn't agree, neither culturally nor legally.
Should all high-ranking employees in the USA be vetted for appropriate (leftwing?) political views before being hired? That doesn't seem right.
