If the opinion you're expressing is hateful and akin to calling fellow humans second hand citizens, then yes, you should probably censor that. Really, you should better yourself, but if not, then you probably want to be careful about making such statements in public.
Consider if he had donated to a charity trying to deny marriage rights to non-white people. I don't think you'd see much defense of his position.

It is not shared by all people. In circles where your opinion is disagreeable to many, it can be very easy to rally them against you. We've not (yet?) progressed beyond this. You may one day find yourself in such a circle, or near it. And one day your expression of that opinion, "hateful" or not, may be used against you. So whatever your opinion is, keep it to yourself. It's a jungle out there. I do not envy Brendan Eich.
