So why is it OK to donate to a politician who is anti-whatever, but a CEO can't be?

Seems like a double standard to me.

It's not a double standard. It's just an ex post facto excuse for inconsistent application of standards.

Has the politician spent tens of millions of dollars in a campaign slurring gay people with some of the most hateful and darkest tropes about them, all the while trying to permanently remove their human rights by amending the Constitution?

Well, the politician literally voted for a law to amend the constitution to prevent gay marriage.

I think you missed my point. And besides, it's impossible to vote for or contribute to a politician who doesn't have views that some minority will vigorously object to.
