To everyone yelling about bigotry & discrimination, if you actually read the article & those words, those don't sound like the words of a bigot to me.
I'm not sure phrasing it as being a bigot or not is helpful, and neither is the money/speech categorization.
Not knowing Mr Eich personally, I'd give him the benefit of doubt. I believe him when he says that he has LGBT friends, and that they were hurt by his actions, and that maybe he was sorry for causing that pain. It must be deeply uncomfortable to believe in something that compels a person to hurt their friends. It's not his religious views per se that got him into hot water, it's the willingness to use legislation to deny a group of people equal rights which still stands as an unethical act.
Speaking as someone who both admires Eich as a technologist but was disappointed by the message Mozilla was conveying by his appointment as CEO, I really don't care that much if he's a religious fanatic. It's not only his right to believe these things, it also doesn't really matter. His achievements can very well stand on their own, and likewise acknowledging the achievements of a person does not imply endorsing all of their beliefs.
Beyond the initial ethics violation, Mr Eich has done nothing wrong that I can see. The fault lies solely with the Mozilla board for appointing him to a position that consists of little else but projecting the public image of the foundation.
There's often several lenses to see things through. People are complicated, messy things.
