Eich didn't just "have an unpopular opinion", he actively contributed against civil rights for LGBT people. He is part of a dying breed, and he cannot possibly fade into obscurity quickly enough.

He held the same position that Obama did at the time.

  Obama changed his mind and became an outspoken proponent of equality.

    Yes, very convenient that he was always on the popular side of the issue.

      Yeah, its almost like he's representing the populous. Should one not change their options in the face of new evidence? What's the point of debate or discussion otherwise?

  And yet, Obama didn't take action against the civil rights of LGBT people, did he? Do you hear that sound? That's the point whooshing majestically over your head.

    A politician taking a public stand against an issue is at least as much an action as donating to a cause that would fund those politicians.

      ROFL. Gee, what will I use to fuel my car and what will I eat for dinner tonight? Oh, I know! I have some political speeches left in the freezer... http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140906052122/potcoplayers/images/c/cb/Grumpy-cat-no-5.jpg http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140906052122/potcoplaye...

> Eich didn't just "have an unpopular opinion", he actively contributed against civil rights for LGBT people. Nonsense; he did not take any action to remove any of their civil rights. One doesn't have a right to say '2 + 2 = 3' and have the state pretend that it's true.

  He stood against marriage equality. If you want to join his side and be on the wrong side of history, then that's your prerogative.
