Anti-gay-marriage donations are rare in the Valley
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 4, 2014 | By Kristen V. Brown

On the heels of the news that Mozilla’s CEO-for-a-minute Brendan Eich has resigned following criticism over a Proposition 8 campaign donation, Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight decided to look into just how rare similar donations are in Silicon Valley.

It turns out that they are pretty rare. Silver mined a Los Angeles Times database of contributions for and against the anti-gay-marriage proposition, hunting for donors working at Silicon Valley tech firms listed in the Fortune 500.

The list included Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Cisco Systems, Apple, Google, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Oracle, Yahoo, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Symantec. Among those 11 companies, 83 percent of employee donations were in opposition to the anti-gay-marriage proposition.

You know, it would be a net positive in this country if the classic Bond plot of A View To A Kill were real.

“Help us! We’re drowning!”

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: It's way past time we separated ourselves from those reprobates!
We MUST refuse to have anything to do with them.
Cut off their funding, cut off their time among us, cut them off from everything!

If they insist on bothering us, then we must defend ourselves from their EVIL.
Drive them out from among us.

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

That leaves 17% for the hateful homosexual bullies to drive from their jobs and perhaps their homes. Who knows what these dangerous and unstable zealots will resort to in order to punish those who think differently than they do.

Their slaughter is coming, and they know it!
They have but a little while left to either "do or die", for their intention is clearly seen by everyone.
They SHALL BE "ashes under the soles of your feet".

One more time: it's not "gay", it's homosexual. (and it's not marriage.)

this type of retribution for your beliefs has been what sparked violence across Europe for ages.

Do they really want to promote this type of activity? Look at Ireland.

Yes and the reason they don’t dare donate to traditional marriage is very clear. Most know as is the case in academia that if they speak out in any prominent way or donate to a conservative traditional family cause they place themselves at professional risk. We need to turn this around. This country is over if the left is allowed to silence and intimidate us from donating to causes we agree with.

83% of 11 companies.

obviously an example of hiring due to political leanings

Yes, it is so. Sadly, the left and their pals have worked overtime and continue to do so to try to shut up all Christians.

We are warned in Revelations not to add or take away from the word of the gospel. The consequences are to serious for any sane person.
