I doubt this means very much, or is worth anything but FWIW... I had arranged for myself and 2 friends to go have lunch with 2 people from OkCupid specifically about whether or not we would be a good fit into the company and what they would be able to offer. I'm only looking for an entry-level front-end dev position so my time isnt nearly as valuable, but out of the other 2 friends one is an ex-Googler, the other from Morgan Stanley, both as back-end engineers. After this stunt by OkCupid we cancelled the lunch and will not continue on with OkCupid.

What an arbitrary career choice. If you'd avoid a job due to politics, you'd probably leave a job due to politics. Maybe you think you're rising above public opinion concerns to polish some kind of sycophantic business mindset, but you're acting just as emotionally as the board of Mozilla. More so, because they have consumer pressure concerns. Maybe your canceled lunch will appear as sober apolitical moves to ... someone. In my opinion you just flushed your credibility down the toilet.

  Or maybe it is political, and that's all right, and it's generally your choice to decide who you want to do business with and why, outside of a few federally protected classes (due to historical reasons.)
