I do not understand the aggression you are putting forth. I am not sharing political opinions, neither am I a liberal. It may be hard to understand, but I do not trust people who discriminate against social minorities (and pay thousands to back it up) to simultaneously protect personal privacy. Why would I trust someone who thinks me and my friends shouldn't exist? I am not being toxic about it, I am just stating what I observe as a conflict of interest. I also was not being aggressive towards you, so I don't understand your vitriolic response.

CEO is a homophobic shithead. ... Privacy is important ... Privacy is good ... Society is toxic ... calling out people who specifically want to legally control how others (harmlessly) live their lives is not itself toxic ... His opinion is that gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry. I think this is rather invasive. ... My point is that someone who is willing to donate thousands to homophobic lobbyists doesn't seem to care about gay people's rights to Privacy ...

And then:

I am not sharing political opinions

Brilliant.

Although I am not sure whether it is art or delusion.

You obviously do not understand what I am saying. I dont think I can explain it to you, especially when you are so sarcastic and opposed to honest conversation.

The plain and simple is I cannot agree with bigots nor trust someone to pays thousands to lobbyist to back up their bigotry. I dont think this is a political issue; I have said nothing of my politics. I could never trust a human who spends thousands to attempt to erase a third of the population. Saying that I dont trust a homophobe is not "sharing my political opinions". The lives of gay people may be affected by politics (just as we all are), but that doesn't mean homophobia (or being against homophobia) is a political opinion.

You did nothing by quoting my original comment. It only illustrates your categorical misunderstanding of my comments.

I couldn’t agree more with you👍🏼
