I do believe he can think what he wants. He can vote the way he wants and he can donate money to what he wants. What he DOESN'T get is a life absent from scrutiny and consequence for his beliefs. We are all held to account eventually for what we believe in.
He has had no rights trampled upon. He thought a thing, and other people find that thing offensive. As a result, they decided that they didn't want to associate themselves with something that he was involved in. Eventually, the company that employed him decided that the number of people making a free choice based on information that is true was detrimental to their direction and bottom line.
If anything, this is a remarkable example of how our system works well. The government didn't need to intercede. Nobody was hurt. People made their opinions known and all they had to do was turn their back on a particular product. I'm not sure where all the outrage is coming from. This is how capitalism was supposed to go. This may be the least corrupt example of how capitalism works that I've ever seen in my life.
