Sam Yagan, thy name is hypocrite. Yagan, the CEO and co-founder of gay dating service OKCupid who forced Mozilla to get rid of Brendan Eich over a $1,000 donation to California’s proposition 8 seems to have his own anti-gay marriage past. Sam Yagan donated $500 to homophobe Utah state Rep. Chris Cannon. Yet Yagan who’s company lead the revolt against Eich is only coming out now and apologizing for his donation to Chris Cannon, because he got caught with his pants down. Sam Yagan isn’t resigning as CEO of OkCupid, instead he fired off a pitiful (I’m sorry) leader to leftist cesspool Huffington Post.

“I accept responsibility for not knowing where he stood on gay rights in particular,” Yagan writes. “I unequivocally support marriage equality and I would not make that contribution again today.” Here’s the statement in its entirety:
“A decade ago, I made a contribution to Representative Chris Cannon because he was the ranking Republican on the House subcommittee that oversaw the Internet and Intellectual Property, matters important to my business and our industry. I accept responsibility for not knowing where he stood on gay rights in particular; I unequivocally support marriage equality and I would not make that contribution again today. However, a contribution made to a candidate with views on hundreds of issues has no equivalence to a contribution supporting Prop 8, a single issue that has no purpose other than to affirmatively prohibit gay marriage, which I believe is a basic civil right.”
So lets review. Brendan Eich gave $1,000 to California’s proposition 8 in 2008 to help hold up traditional marriage in the loony left state. Eich never discriminated against gays, never said anything negative about gays, and otherwise kept his politics to himself. Eich gets shoved out by Mozilla.
Sam Yagan, the CEO and co-founder of a gay dating service (owned by Match.com) gave to a Utah Congressman who has expressed negative statements about gays and voted against gay marriage gets a pass from the progressive liberal media and the gaystapo. Does this make sense to anyone?
No calls from the far left for Yagan to step down from his job like there were for Eich.
