The CEO did not in fact donate to a hate campaign. Please avoid defaming someone with mischaracterizations of their opinion. He is a religious man who believes that marriage is a religious institution between a man and a woman. You don’t agree with that position. Neither do I. And it might be hurtful. But this is not the same thing as a hate campaign. Eich does not hate gay people. Many who opposed Prop 8 (and the majority opposed it, don’t forget - it failed) did so more or less on semantic principles. They supported equal rights but objected to using the word “marriage” specifically, as they felt that it was redefining a religious word. Some undoubtedly did hate gays, but viewpoints of the opposition were nuanced and varied. It’s not accurate to conflate them all with hate. The Thiel boycott seems futile, because I doubt you’re also opposing facebook, paypal, spacex, stripe, spotify, and dozens of other SaaS that is powering services you use.
