On Facebook’s diversity page, the company celebrates their gay users, proclaiming “we want you to feel comfortable being your true, authentic self.” Mark Zuckerberg himself has shown up to San Francisco’s Pride Parade, riding in a faux cable car down Market Street.
However, when it comes to political donations, Facebook has no problem giving $10,000 to a man described as “the face legal opposition to marriage equality in America.”
According to financial disclosures obtained by QSaltLake, Facebook’s growing lobbying arm donated $10,000 to Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes this past May.
Reyes has irked LGBT activists for his aggressive stance against gay rights. After being sworn in as Attorney General this past December, the first issue he tackled was “the defense of marriage,” saying his office would be “willing to spend whatever it takes” to defend Utah’s gay marriage ban, which had been struck down by a US District Court earlier that month.
