Sorry I do not pay extortion money.
If I believed that supporting prop 8 was the correct thing to do, no thug would make me give them money to fight what I believe to be correct.
If I caved, yes I would be a coward.
If I understand you correctly, you appear to believe to back down on your beliefs is somehow heroic.

If your actions actually matched your bravado behind the keyboard, then you'd deserve a lot of respect.

Proud posts are cheap, though.

What makes you assume that the employees who contributed thought that “supporting prop 8 was the correct thing to do”?

Even if they contributed only to save their jobs, it hardly makes them cowards. For most people, supporting their families is more important than political principles. I think the gay Nazis are out of control, but I can hardly fault these people for trying to save their jobs.
