You're taking this 'article' (it's really more of an editorial) at face value. It's nice that they get a little input from someone from the human rights campaign, but who's front and center here, acting all righteous and indignant here about Paypal's not standing up for gay rights abroad? Matt Sharp, legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom- an American conservative Christian nonprofit organization with the stated goal of "defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation." (Wikipedia).
In other words, the most prominent source for this piece is a guy representing the group that was one of the main sponsors and supporters of this abhorrent bill. That's why it's a big steaming pile of bullshit.
