That 1k donation, from years ago, is very usefull to someone. I dont know who cares so much to destroy this Brave founder, but that story for a 1k donation keep being repeated over and over.
Some people gave millions to have trans right banned.. we never hear about thoses people. But 1k, big deal!
It's not about the amount, it's about doing it in the first place and even more so defending that action afterwards but whatever...
Unsubstantiated whataboutism. Cool (not actually cool).

It’s not about the amount of money, it’s the sentiment. Putting effort towards making another person’s life harder deserves mention.
The issue with the donation has multiple stages. Stage 1 was the donation itself. Stage 2 was the intellectually insulting way that Brendan Eich defended his actions. Stage 3 is the negative impact that Proposition 8 had on California for many years, during which time millions of dollars in taxpayer money was wasted on legal proceedings to walk back the amendment banning marriage for people who dared to be of the same gender.
And we did actually hear a lot about the people who donated millions to Proposition 8. There was a lot of coverage of the millions that Mormons donated to get this type of marriage banned. It was a political decision that haunted the LDS church for years. Example 1, five years later. Here's some more coverage from just last year. We've been hearing about those people for years. Because California remembers the damage that they wrought.
