Why any organization would work so hard and spend so much time (and money) on the prevention of specific paying customers is completely beyond me. Money is money. Just because it comes from a gay person's hand doesn't mean it's worth less, and certainly doesn't mean that the person is worth less either (and most definitely shouldn't be treated as such).
These companies are only cheating themselves.

Splendid Venus Super Sarah IT Girl LithiumXwolf yes it is so wrong for a company to state its own virtues, just as it is wrong for a political organization have its own virtues, or any person on the planet to believe anything other than what you believe.. Oh wait Companies can feel free to have whatever 'virtues' they please, but people should be aware of how bigoted they are so they can refuse to support those bigoted views. As a side note, "companies" should be neutral, and not supportive of either side of the coin. They should cater equally to everybody. When making donations to charities, they should prefer pro- vs anti- campaigns. The owners can be free to have whatever views they want, but the company policies should dictate that anything done in its name is neutral, and supportive of everybody. Exactly 3nodding So what your saying is, it should be enforced that a PRIVATELY OWNED COMPANY is not allowed to use its money in a way that it chooses to do so, and to support causes it deems worthy of its own money? You're disgusting, If I donate money to starving children you'd get mad at me for not donating half of that to starving gay children as well... is it not enough that these companies actually do help some people when they're not forced to? regardless of their political and moral values?

If they are going to help people they should help people but they shouldn't be allowed to withhold help or job opportunities based on someone's sexual orientation. Discrimination is wrong and you know it.

Insults don't fly here, man. No need for that. smile Anyway, aside from that: Agreed. A privately-owned company should be able to support whichever legal charity it wants to support, the same as anyone else. It's not like we're talking about a group that's being funded by tax-payers; it's a business. If people want to boycott, whatever. They're entitled to do so. Personally, I can think of plenty of reasons to avoid Wal-Mart and fast-food joints, and those reasons have nothing to do with which charities they support. razz

Your views are so skewed that, if you feel the way you do, you ought to just leave the guild. That isn't what this guild is about, you know. It's about having a safe-haven for people to support and help each other. All you do is start crap with people here by posting something that you know will irritate them.

welp, my list of boycotting went up there. I'm surprised match.com wasn't on there, they've been sued for taking monies from gay people then saying 'we only hook up men and women, sorry. Oh, and no refunds."

My local Wal-Mart is actually pretty cool. They've openly supported the few LGBT events that my little town has, and I wander through there holding hands with my GF all the time. No one so much as bats an eyelash, other than the crotchety old ladies with their bibles. xp I'm pretty sure I've even seen LGBT books sold there. (I recall seeing one right next to a bible once -- I found it hilarious.) I've no clue about their internal policies, though.
As for the other stores.... we don't even have any of those around here.
