eBay

I'm not an eBay user, but this ensures I never will be. :p

I won't knowingly do business with a company whose ethics I have a problem with. Furthermore, companies are quite literally the people who run them. So if the CEO of a company supports a homophobic presidental hopeful, even on a purely personal basis, I won't do business with that company.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be curbing my ebay impulses from now on.

Wow... that's kind of fucked up... And, I'm confused now, cause I thought I'd heard some time ago that the founder of Ebay was an out lesbian. (I dunno, and I'd guess not, that this is not her, then?)

Wikipedia seems to think it was founded by a male computer programmer, so you might be confusing it with another company.

And yeah, that's totally fucked up... but then, I find it fucked-up that there are people in this world who can't seem to tolerate others that are different from themselves.

Humanity. Go figure. :p
