There were three people whose donations led to trouble for them. One was running a LGBT film festival, one was CEO of a browser company, and one was manager of a restrant that catered to gay customers. Now I don't know but maybe just maybe if you depend upon gays for your money then you shouldn't stab them in the back at the first opportunity. In the case of the CEO it was straight people who boycotted the browser in response. In the other cases they stabbed either all of their customer base or most of it in the back and did so publicly. Yes, that is what happens when you do those things.
