That's why I clarified using "generally popular". I mean more like "keeping with today's mores", which is admittedly a moving target in the long term.
People can be wrong and later realize their mistake, it's not something we think about when supporting a cause; how will I be viewed in the future for this? Maybe we should.. Until then, anonymity in donating allows someone to express their opinions as they see the mores of the day to be, now, without fear of retribution, and protected for the distant future when they've realized how wrong they were and changed.
