Since you all like to boycott companies...

[Anonymous]

If you boycott every company that supports a group that you don't agree with, you're going to quickly run out of places to shop and eat. 

If you support gay marriage, then don't go to chick fil a, walmart, the salvation army, or exxon mobile, just to name a few. 

If you are anti-gay, here are the companies you need to avoid since they support gay organizations: Levis, Nike, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Starbucks, Coca Cola, Amazon, JC Penny, General Mills, and many others. 

If you are against abortion and/or planned parenthood, stay away from Pepsi, Starbucks, Verizon, The Gap, Macy's, AT&T, Avon, Bank of America, Clorox, ebay, and many more because they help fund planned parenthood. 

If you are FOR abortion and/or planned parenthood, then you should cancel your Curves membership!

If you are against the anti gun movement and think americans should have the right to possess guns, then you better boycott these companies because they fund anti gun organizations: seven eleven, AOL, Time Warner, AT&T, Ben & Jerry, Disney, Gateway, Geico, HBO, MTV, Starbucks, Blockbuster and many more. 

I could keep going......

LOL And this is why I won't let my feathers get ruffled over this Chik Fil A thing.

I think, and I may just be assuming, that some people don't understand boycotting one company and not the hundreds of others that also go against your (general) beliefs. Does that make sense? I hope I got that across ok. If someone is going to boycott one place than why not boycott every other company? Again, I think that's the point of the post.

I guess I'm just not getting it. Who is trying to boycott "everything"?

Quoting KeepJeep:

I agree with you and I agree with OP. This will always be a tough one because if we boycott every company that supports things we do not then we will be sitting in empty houses with no food, no clothes, etc. My husband and I pick the causes that are our biggest priorities and do the best we can to support and advocate for these causes. We simply can't boycott everything. That's why some people, like op, point this out.

You know what? You're right.

Political activism is stupid. Everyone just needs to shut up and stop paying attention.

Honestly the only thing I try to boycot, and I don't know if that's even the right term, but I read labels and "try" to buy items made in the US.

It's a personal opinion when the company is giving money to hate organizations. Shame on you for not researching it. It has nothing to do with his personal views on gay marriage. I personally, will not support any company that supports hate groups of any nature.

You people are so hateful; especially about the Chick_FIL-A thing.  He was only expressing a personal opinion.  Shame on you!

I just don't understand why this is such a big deal to some people. Its the right of American consumers to decide where to spend their money and what businesses to support. I boycott tons of places. This CFA train wreck is the first time I have seen this much hostility towards those that choose to exercise their right to boycott. I'm slightly confused by it.

Okay, I still don't understand what's wrong with either one.

Some businesses are intelligent enough to keep their political and personal beliefs out of business. If they do that, why would I boycott them?

I'm not psychic and I'm not born with the knowledge of what everyone believs but if I start to boycott AS companies come out with their beliefs, what is wrong with that?

And furthermore, as as been said bajillions of times, this isn't ABOUT their beliefs anyway- people were upset about the charities being donated to, not simply religious beliefs.

The only one I boycott is Ambercrombie and Fitch (sp?) because they discriminate against employees on how they look or if they are disabled.

You forgot Wendy's. If you are pro-choice don't eat there.
