A ban that was supported by the majority at the time and the donation was six years old at the time he became CEO. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44461541

In 2014, which is over a decade ago now.

Wikipedia also says he's Catholic. From what I understand, the Church's positions on such things have evolved at least somewhat since then. His views could have totally changed or evolved since then (can't find anything publicly myself).

Brendan Eich is a rich nerd who probably got cornered in a party by someone smart and signed $1000 check.

It is like blaming me for giving $10 to an bump without checking what he was gonna do with it.
