If he was a bigot back then, is he still a bigot now?

Yes, he is. As I said, he has posted why he spent money to deny gay people the right to marry and to nullify the marriages of gay people who were already married, and he has not apologized for it since.

Which is almost never.

Then there is no problem. Just tell people to use Firefox.

That owning slaves is wrong and denying rights to gay people is wrong and treating it as a political issue where both sides are valid is nonsensical.

People have a right to support slavery as a government idea that is tied up in politics. /s

It’s not what he thinks of gay people. It’s that he spent his money to successfully deny gay people rights and nullify marriages that were already recognized. That’s not somebody I want to give money to. Look on Hacker News for his comments about why he made that donation, and you might change your mind about whether he is actually a bigot. He has never apologized for his actions.

Austerity hurts Amazon’s retail business, so the idea that Bezos would lobby for it is ludicrous.

Interesting that you bring up political and medical disinformation, which is something else Eich is known for: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/business/brave-brendan-eich-covid-19.html
