What, getting ousted as CEO for unrepentant bigotry? I'm not that scared.

And this "unrepentant bigotry" directly affected how many peoples' lives? No one's?

Except all of those people affected by Prop 8, but, you know aside from those, right?

The thousands of gay couples who wanted to get married but couldn't because of donations like his? The denial of rights of gay couples who were married before prop 8?

There are actual people who have been denied inheritance, denied the right to visit their partner in the hospital, denied the ability to go their loved one's funeral by their family because of prop 8.

Whoever's downvoting you should be ashamed. The exact effect of Prop 8 was to strip marriage rights from people. And part of why it worked (until struck down in federal court as the civil rights violation its opponents always knew it to be) is the well-funded campaign in favor of it.

bigotry: bigoted attitudes; intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
