It's not what he thinks of gay people. It's that he spent his money to successfully deny gay people rights and nullify marriages that were already recognized. That's not somebody I want to give money to. Look on Hacker News for his comments about why he made that donation, and you might change your mind about whether he is actually a bigot. He has never apologized for his actions.

Gates didn't lobby for tax cuts and austerity. https://fortune.com/2022/07/30/bill-gates-lobbied-joe-manchin-inflation-reduction-act-build-back-better-act-democrats/

Nor did Bezos: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56657596

Austerity hurts Amazon's retail business, so the idea that Bezos would lobby for it is ludicrous.
