Boycotting the Boycotts

Hey hey,

So, this is going back to LGBT again. As I have previously said, I am straight, but I still support LGBT rights.

So, I've recently found out about people creating boycotts against companies who support LGBT.

First thought? "idiots."

Just because a company supports. LGBTs, doesn't mean you should boycott them. Would you boycott Adsa's if they supported Man Utd and you didn't? If the answer is yes, the you clearly take your footie way too seriously.

The following 25 companies have had boycotts against them for their LGBT support:-

Oreo
Betty Crocker
Levi's
Cheerios
American Appeal
Walt Disney World (all of Disney have, but this is on an American site)
Starbucks
Wheaties
Tide
Microsoft
The Home Depot
Pampers
Pepsi
Safeway
Crest
Old Navy
Girl Scouts
Macy's
Target
JCP
Phillsbury
Walgreen's pharmacy
Ford
Gap
Green Giant

Now, you may not have heard of all of the companies as they are American, but nevertheless, they were boycotted. Why? Just because they believe in something- which isn't harmful- doesn't mean you should boycott them. You won't take your kids to Disney purely because they let homosexuals in? Or have a cup of coffee in Starbucks because they accept lesbians? How ridiculous!

There were boycotts in the past for equality. Now that they are accepting LGBTs, there's boycotts again. Make up your mind, people! Either you want equality or not! And anyway, it's not like someone of the same gender is going to sexually harass you. That's not what being a different sexual orientation is about. They don't go round trying to rape you or anything. They are normal people. Geez. Let them be!

So just because a shop lets people who are a different orientation from you go there, or gays are allowed to use the same product as you, doesn't mean you should boycott them. Stop making a fuss. I might boycott the boycotts and just do the opposite of them.

That's all I can say on the topic, really.

See ya.
