We didn't act like you'd expect Mozilla to act. We didn't move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We're sorry. We must do better.
Brendan Eich has chosen to step down from his role as CEO. He's made this decision for Mozilla and our community.
Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard.Our organizational culture reflects diversity and inclusiveness. We welcome contributions from everyone regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, language, race, sexual orientation, geographical location and religious views. Mozilla supports equality for all.
We have employees with a wide diversity of views. Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public. This is meant to distinguish Mozilla from most organizations and hold us to a higher standard. But this time we failed to listen, to engage, and to be guided by our community.
As of this time, there is no named successor or statement on who will be taking over Mozilla's leadership.

You are correct that there are many, many potential ways to provide shared property rights without marriage. All of which garner interest from the state. Having other options does not exclude a marriage contract from providing that function, without updates for any additions or subtractions, ongoing inventory adjustments, etc. A paycheck automatically becomes community property, so does a winning lottery ticket, or even a penny found in the street. And let's not forget about the shared responsibilities and liabilities that come with a marriage contract.
I think the major difference between a marriage contract and other options regarding shared property rights is its exclusionary design. You can only ever enter into the contract with one other person at a time.
I am not familiar with divorce as it pertains to a polygamous marriage (and I doubt many in the US are). Is the departing spouse due a fixed percentage of the community property based on equal division? How is it divided when there are more personal interests to satisfy?
