>Brendan Eich's hateful hands

LOL California Proposition 8 was pretty mainstream opinion back then. Maybe stop with the ex post facto persecution?

Hate can be popular but that still doesn’t make it right. He knew that he was spending money hoping to take away rights from people he knew, to tell some of them that their marriages shouldn’t be allowed, and did it anyway. That’s hateful regardless of how many other people joined him.

By that definition, all politics is "hate". Passing a law will always take away the rights of a group in some way or other, and politics is the debate of whether or not that's a good or bad thing.

Personally I'm 100% for letting everyone express their gender or sexual identities. But I'm not going to demonize someone for having a different opinion and making a small donation to support their political views.

Most politics isn't targeted at taking away rights from people, so most politics is not hateful.

Please don't haul over a straw man like "what about murderers and pedophiles, don't they get rights?" No, no one gets rights to hurt other people.

I'm not demonizing him, I'm refusing to do do business with him while he thinks it's ok to fund organizations and policies that hurt people and take away rights. Maybe you should too, lest someone start to take away YOUR rights, but maybe just do it because it's not right to take away anyone's rights.
