No, but its part of the point of a free society -- as is criticizing others actions based on their personal beliefs.
>No, I think you've decided that when democracy doesn't cater exactly to your personal morals, it must be wrong.
Which is what every loser in a democracy thinks. At least every time it's a wedge issue like this.
>cast hatred
Huh, saying someone has no business running an equality-focused company is "hatred" now? Saying someone is a bigot is "hatred"? Yeah right.
Making a donation based on private, personal beliefs is ENTIRELY the point of a democracy. The correct action is to speak out in support of your ideas, not to cast hatred on those who disagree.
Instead of sitting here arguing, you could have gone and made a 10 dollar donation to a pro-lbgt group, and done a lot more good. Instead of forcing Eich to resign, you could have used it as a rallying point to get A LOT of other like minded people to make that same 10 dollar donation. You could have chosen to voice your opinions with both words and monetary support, (like Eich did) instead of attacking the opposition. You aren't doing that.
