Eich caused an uproar due to his actions, not his beliefs. Pretending he sat on the side lines silently nodding in agreement with Prop 8 ignores the reality. He gave money to further a cause with the goal of dissolving families of same sex couples in California. He affected peoples' lives.
- gcp 13y agoContributing to a political campaign is promoting your beliefs.
- momentarily 13y agoDonating to a cause is free speech.
- akitaro 13y agoOf course he affected peoples lives, he created javascript. Prop 8 failed though, so in the end he did jack shit against gay rights.
- mkr-hn 13y agoProp 8 succeeded. The court overturned it years later.
- akitaro 13y agoWhich means it did jack shit. Also, it was found unconstitutional in 2010. Only "years later" by the fact that it was more than a single year. Hardly a significant stretch of time.
- devindotcom 13y agoLike the guys who literally lynched black people for acting white for much of the 20th century did jack shit against equal rights for black people?
- akitaro 13y agoThat is such a bad comparison that you should literally feel bad for making it :3
