The family that owns the Orlando Magic has donated $500,000 to the victims of the Orlando terrorist attack, but some people are furious with their help.
The Devos family personally donated $400,000 and their team donated $100,000, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
However, many people are outraged that the DeVos family would try to help the victims of the terrorist attack because they oppose gay marriage. Twitter was full of angry responses.
Dont get me wrong, its great the DeVos’ are helping. Just strikes as opportunistic, considering how much hate they’ve also fomented for LGBT

Like I said, it’s great the DeVos’ are helping. Just would have been nice if they helped *before* something like this, you know?

Rick Scott, Pam Bondi, Richard DeVos have oppressed the LGBT community for years & now want to ride the sympathy train to PR town. Gross.

The DeVos family is estimated to have donated around $2 million to causes supporting traditional marriage. It appears that, even after a terrorist attack that left 49 people dead, some are always willing to put politics ahead of helping people.
