Glad you brought that up. Let me point out that Biden, Obama, and Clinton switched from bad to good. That's called evolving. Trump used to be pro-gay, but then switched from good to bad, selling out gays to get elected. That's called devolving.
I prefer people who evolve like Biden, Obama, and Clinton did, instead of devolve like Trump did, by selling out to haters in exchange for political power.
As far as I know (and I've asked people who've known him for a long long time), Brendan has always been badly against gay marriage, with no plans of ever evolving or apologizing or even explaining himself.
And yes I've asked Brendan himself about it, and he outright refuses to explain or justify or apologize for either his hateful opinions or his hateful actions that hurt other people.
Brendan Eich went way beyond simply holding an opinion when he purposefully contributed money to the campaign to tear apart other people's marriages and destroy their families.
Brendan's money paid for TV commercials blasting lies, stereotypes, prejudices, and attacks against gay people.
Brendan's goals were satisfied: Proposition 8 passed, and marriages were destroyed because of his support, thanks to the anti-gay propaganda campaign he helped fund.
Brendan Eich knew quite well what he was doing by supporting Proposition 8, and he totally meant to do it, and he has never apologized or evolved, or even "argued his opinion" as you falsely claim he uses his means to do. He never even meant for his opinion to be known, let alone argued for it in pubic.

But I strongly suspect he isn't thrilled that GamerGate and Alt-Right have made him their unwitting hero and martyr and poster child, and that they keep spreading the lie that Brendan was fired from Mozilla because of cancel culture, when Brendan actually resigned of his own free will, and Brendan has said repeatedly himself he resigned and was not pushed out, and the Mozilla board said "Brendan voluntarily submitted his resignation", and the board actually begged him to stay, and this is all very well documented and not contested except by batshit crazy conspiracy theorists.

>Q: Was Brendan Eich fired?
>A: No, Brendan Eich resigned. Brendan himself said:
>“I have decided to resign as CEO effective April 3rd, and leave Mozilla. Our mission is bigger than any one of us, and under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader. I will be taking time before I decide what to do next.”
>Brendan Eich also blogged on this topic.

>Q: Was Brendan Eich asked to resign by the Board?
>A: No. It was Brendan’s idea to resign, and in fact, once he submitted his resignation, Board members tried to get Brendan to stay at Mozilla in another C-level role.
