Donating to a congressman who took a strong anti-gay stance is hardly the same as "donating to an anti-gay campaign".

It's pretty similar. Actually, it's worse since the congressman is a lawmaker that can influence other lawmakers with his agenda & draft bills. Yagan is also rewarding the Cannon for his stance on the issues.

  "Rewarding" instead of "Rewarded" implies that he's continuing to do so. He stated pretty clearly that he wouldn't make the donation again. And donating to support a specific law is definitely worse then supporting a law maker more generally.

    Whatever. These witchhunts are distasteful & hypocritical. Bleh! Then again, I've always been a fan of Jesus' saying "let him who is without sin cast the first stone". Oops, I can't say Jesus, or "him", because it's against the new "progressive" order. I fear I will soon have angry atheists & feminists demanding that I step down from my job for uttering a religious phrase. Infringing on the atheists' human right to be free of religion & feminists' human right to be free of the patriarchy & "rape culture". Does this make me look like a bigot? Please, I want to hold on to my "privilege, not right", to have a job. It's like modern "civil rights movements", "progressive movements", blah blah blah, are corrupted to be the new oppressors and promoting new speak. It's really sad :-( MLK & Ghandi would be sad. Feminism has been preaching sexism for a long time. Their tactic of demonizing anybody who dares to disagree with them are well known and advanced. It sucks to be a heterosexual male in America. I can't step outside without getting accused of "promoting rape culture". I hear that will soon become "hate speech" with jail time. I don't want to get married. I don't want to live with a woman in america. I already got screwed with that nonsense. My only choices are to grow a mangina or be gay :-P Anyways, I guess the "Gay rights" movement has a template to follow. So all of you can feel better for judging others who are less "progressive" than you. I wonder if there will be a progressive 1%, because the progressive middle class is getting hollowed out. That's ok I guess. All good things get tired and must end. Franchises & knock offs happen. The quality gets diluted. There will be a new revolution to move us forward. --- Btw, did you know that Jesus was really a feminist who died to save us from the patriarchy? j/k
