I can't give you clear evidence of majority support, though I believe, based on the internal discussions I have witnessed, that is existed. But I won't leave you empty-handed. As far as I know there were five employees -- out of approximately 1,000 -- who tweeted that Brendan should resign as CEO. Here are six blog posts from employees who supported Brendan's appointment, and blogged about that support before he resigned. http://subfictional.com/2014/03/24/on-brendan-eich-as-ceo-of-mozilla/ http://bholley.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/on-brendan-eich-and-the-thought-police/ https://staktrace.com/spout/entry.php?id=823 http://patrickfinch.com/2014/03/31/the-most-important-decisions-we-make/ https://ozten.com/psto/2014/03/28/pick-your-battles/ http://www.glazman.org/weblog/dotclear/index.php?post/2014/03/25/Welcome-Brendan! Note that several of these basically said "I don't agree with Brendan on gay marriage but I support his appointment as CEO nonetheless." Unfortunately, the blunt tweets asking for a resignation inevitably garnered far more attention than the long-form blog posts that tackled the nuances of the issue.
