> Is there something that Leil Zahra has done which makes you think they are inappropriate to be associated with Mozilla?

No I just don't think Mozilla should fund political projects at all. I know that if I donate to Mozilla, my money will go to activists and not to the continued development of Firefox.

The reason why I singled out one individual was because it shows that they support specific political agendas (and was the one I found after a quick search to give a sourced example). There is a pattern in the type of activists they support. I welcome you to find someone who would represent the opposite political side, you probably won't because they wouldn't.

> Or are you just upset by their identity as a queer person?

I don't care, people can have whatever views or identities they want.

Just based on the linked bio, it seems like this person’s actual work is focused on addressing mass-surveillance, cooperation between governments and social media to restrict free speech, and differences in moderation in different regions. These are certainly political causes, but I think they are the kind of things Mozilla have always supported? I don’t think Mozilla supporting this kind of work is an indication of some massive change in the company.
