Queerty's 10 Companies That Hate The Gays (via ontd_political)

I'm still on the fence about boycotts, seeing as how they're poorly thought out most of the time but damn, seeing those names on the list just makes me want to stomp on things. Even this:

A Fortune 1000 Company, Brown-Forman distributes Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, Finlandia Vodkas, Herradura Tequila, Sonoma-Cutrer Wines, Fetzer Wines, Korbel Champagne, Bolla Wines, Bonterra Wines, but provides no comfort to its gay and lesbian employees, refusing even basic domestic partner benefits.

*tear* Oh well, I've still got Guinness. Yeah, I know Guinness isn't vegan ... IDK, lesser of all evils?

Thank goodness Patron and Maker's Mark aren't on this list. :D

Thanks for posting that. :-( (the link needs an "l" in html, btw)

Thanks so much for the link to that post. I've been meaning to try to do less of my shopping at Walmart for a while now. Now I have a really good reason to.

*hugs*

And thank goodness there's still Guinness. Hubby would cry if he couldn't get that. :p

Ugh! The Salvation Army??? Really? How disappointing! I thought they'd have some compassion.

I know what you mean about boycotts. Some boycotts I think are successful, and some things I do my best to not shop from on principal, like Wal-Mart, but yeah, there are some poorly thought out, assy boycotts that gather steam on the Interwebz. Still, civil liberty are a big deal, and I don't feel right giving any of these fucktard companies my money.

Sigh...

Good thing I'm not a big drinker, I guess. And Dominos makes shitty pizza anyway.

I always pass right by the S.A. bell-ringers and don't put money in the kettle. I give to charities who don't discriminate. A pity, because they do good work, but I can't stomach the homophobia.
