What Hacker News says?
On the topic of being an "activist platform", I strongly suggest you read < http://incisive.nu/2014/thinking-about-mozilla/> , and in particular the paragraph starting "Several of my colleagues have called for Brendan’s resignation. I have not done so ..."

HN discussionWhy would you not link to it? It is a public blog it is meant to be read. Respectful your point makes no logically sense. You think the HN crowd is the youtube crowd? Is it this one: http://incisive.nu/2014/thinking-about-mozilla/

HN discussionAs an international viewer, this is difficult to understand. Employment discrimination on the grounds of sexuality is illegal here. By saying that they offer healthcare equally to gay employees[0], Mozilla seem to be doing what would here be considered a minimum. Is that really considered good in the US?
