This is a disingenuous headline - Yagan donated to a candidate who was anti-gay (anti everything, really!) and NOT to a specific campaign designed to strip rights from people. There's a difference here.
This was obviously a PR stunt, in the sense that OKCupid would not have participated if they thought it would bring about negative reactions. But let's be realistic - at least 50% of anybody who's ever donated to a politician's campaign in the US has "donated to an anti gay campaign once", if that's the qualifier. And it's much harder to point a finger and say "you are demonstrably opposed to gay rights" when Yagan's company is making a public statement in support thereof - however hypocritical you perceive that to be.
