Which, as has been pointed out to you, did not happen. Mozilla's CEO resigned because he was free to express his opinion, he did, and people were also free to call him a bigot.
Also, again, people are free to discriminate. There is no law against that. Anyone can feel free to privately be a racist, sexist, misogynist, or homophobe.
They just cannot do it in the public sphere, sponsored by the state. If any business were to be able to not serve who they want, the will of the majority squashes the rights of the minority. This is the same argument for segregation in the 60's. Those businesses were saying that they have the right to choose not to serve blacks. Without anti-discrimination laws, there would still be businesses and areas in the south where blacks would have to sit in separate sections, where blacks wouldn't be allowed. When it comes to majority opinion, the 'free market' encourages more discrimination.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
