YC companies aren't exactly multi-thousand-employee affairs. When you disinvite a YC company, you're really making a value judgment about its founders.
In this context, the companies actually were "mult-thousand-employee affairs", it was a judgement about which large companies were allowed to send investors to Demo Day.
From the article, these are companies like Comcast and Godaddy. It wasn't about actual YC companies.

Okay. I agree, that's different. My mistake.

> Yes, consider the outrage if conservative would fire someone on political viewpoints.
What do you think all those "Religious Freedom" bills are? Fire the (out) gays.
The difference is that conservatives are wrong and liberals are right, so YC is doing the right thing.
These aren't apples to apples comparisons; this issue isn't that simple.
