  He didn’t support gay marriage in 2008. Neither did Obama, but he gets a free pass. Is Obama massively homophobic?

    Firstly, fuck off with this misrepresentation. He spent money to actively oppose LGBT rights. That’s very different to not publicly supporting it.

    Also, he hasn’t come out and said that he was wrong.

    Has he made a statement to the contrary?

      No, but he did do an interview years later where he doubled down, and complained that people weren’t being inclusive of those with homophobic views.

      Basically the “so much for the tolerant left! They’re not even tolerant of my intolerance!” argument lol

  Has he done more than giving 1000 USD in 2008? Any statement for example?

    He’s spoken out since and said he thinks homophobia is acceptable (in 2014). He’s never said he was wrong.

    Ask yourself if you’d be angry if he spent money campaigning on giving, say, black people fewer rights. I’d imagine you’d be pissed off about that. So what’s the difference? Why are you accepting of this?

    It’s particularly bad that he sells his product as being respectful of people’s privacy, yet he wants the state to intervene in people’s private lives and prevent them from having equal rights.

    He also came out and said that it’s the people who are against homophobic people are the real people against inclusiveness. What a joke.

    By all means, use Brave. I don’t care. Use their crypto, whatever. I just personally refuse to support someone who is unrepentantly homophobic.

    You don’t get labeled as “phobic” for thinking that - you get labeled as “phobic” because you’ve made it, and your complete inability to mind your own business, your entire personality.
