You keep trying to pull prop 8 back into the conversation. This isn't a discussion on gay marriage.

While I agree that a CEO should be aware of their public image I think it's a sad commentary on the state of our society that public attacks and shaming have become the vehicle of protest now. This happens frequently with the constant push to de-fund voices by attacking their sponsors. Big corporations stand down, not because they agree ideologically with the vocal mob, but rather because they want to not become the next target.

How about instead of attacking the careers and livelihoods of those we disagree with, we instead support the ideas we do agree with?

The idea I support is defending equal rights. How is trying to hold accountable powerful people who oppose equality rights anything but supporting the ideas I do agree with?

Also, how can this not be a discussion of gay marriage? Aren’t you just saying that opposing gay marriage is not worthy of criticism?
