I have been meaning to publish something like this for a while. WithChik-Fil-A’s HUGE scandal with their President coming out against Gay Marriage, and Boston’s refusal to let them build there, it needs to be posted.
I of course referenced Wikipedia.org who has a HUGE list of ALL major Boycotts. I could include them as well but it’s better for others to research on their own as we all have varying opinions.
Here are the main Boycotts to diss the same-sex haters and L-O-V-E one another in the LGBT community.
Gay and lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered boycotts
- Against Target Corporation – for donating to conservative PAC Minnesota Forward, a group which supported anti-gay marriage candidate Tom Emmer during the Minnesota gubernatorial campaign in 2010.[10]Lady Gaga stopped doing business with Target because of the effects that she says its political activism has had on the LGBT community.[11][12] Target in turn is now suing the gay rights group Canvass for a Cause, for demonstrating outside its stores (in San Diego County, California) which Target asserts is interfering with business.[13][14]
- Against Best Buy – For donating campaign money to Tom Emmer.[15]
- Against Chick-fil-A – For their company making charitable contributions through their Winshape Foundation to organizations that actively oppose same-sex marriage initiatives across the United States, sparked by one of their restaurants catering a marriage seminar held by the notoriously anti-gay Pennsylvania Family Institute.[16]
- Against Heinz – The gay rights group, Stonewall, has urged supporters to stop buying Heinz products, after the company pulled a commercial of two men kissing.[17]
- Against The Salvation Army – Gay rights groups are asking people to boycott the Salvation Army’s red kettles and thrift stores, because of the organization’s stance against homosexuality.[18]
- Tourism/Business with Rushville, Illinois or Schuyler County, Illinois. Don Schieferdecker, county sheriff, made anti-gay and anti-semetic remarks on Facebook and refuses to resign.[19]
- Tourism/Business with Utah, especially Salt Lake City, Utah. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated money to push Prop 8 through in California, so gays and lesbians wouldn’t be allowed to marry.[20]
