Another proof that career scientists arent always smart or informed.
The most we can blame James Webb for sure is being part of the USA government in the 1950s. Nothing else has been substanciated despite investigations to do so and many of the hearsay have been proved to be fabrications.

Sorry, but this is dumb as fuck. You might have a point if there wasn't a telescope named after him, but there is. That's not just "the default". That's a very specific honor above and beyond "the default". So if you just act homophobic because it's the default if you're part of government in the 50s, you should not get honored above the default.
The argument for not honoring him is so much stronger than the one for it that it shouldn't even be a debate.
