One of the founders, Brendan Eich, donated his money to take away the equal right for same-sex couples to marry in California (Prop 8). He never acknowledge that it was mistake, so I can only assume that he truly wants to see the marriages of same-sex couples erased, which is quite a hateful thing to desire.
While that's fair, actually funding something to take away the rights of another person, like this guy presumably did, is a lot more weighty than just having an opinion.
