The gay rights battle is now covering everything from soap to clucks. Following the uproar over Chick-fil-A and same-sex marriage, gay rights advocates are pushing for a boycott of cleaning and beauty products company Amway—and its affiliates, including the Orlando Magic basketball team. The boycott call is in response to a $500,000 donation to battle gay marriage made by a foundation funded by Amway president and founder Doug DeVos. The recipient of the donation, the National Organization for Marriage, "has been one of the most virulently anti-LGBT organizations in the country," says a statement launching the boycott by Rights Equal Rights. "A global boycott of Amway will let others know that there are consequences for giving massive amounts of money to take away the rights of a minority."
Amway officials said the donation represents the personal beliefs of DeVos. As "private citizens, the DeVos family supports causes and organizations that advocate for policies aligned to their personal beliefs," Amway said in a statement to ABC News, adding that the family believes "one of the highest callings of any individual is to express their own personal beliefs as a participant in the democratic process." The Magic has reported no dip in ticket sales.
These perverts have nothing better to do than make life miserable for others. Typical liberal troublemakers in line with the entire Obama campaign.
Every day it will be something new to keep the attention off of Obama and his radical, Marixist agenda and the massive damage to America of his failed policies and ideology.
“”A global boycott of Amway will let others know that there are consequences for giving massive amounts of money to take away the rights of a minority.”
So..should we all buy stock in Amway ASAP?
:)
By the smell of them, aren't they already boycotting?
the LGBT groups turn into screaming babys when someone disagrees with their lifestyle. Their mentality is like the Borg.
I’ve boycotted Amway and the relatives peddling the stuff for years...
I aint a fan of Amway or the pro gay protesters.
Amway is a ponzi scheme
They haven’t learned anything from their failure in their Chick-Fil-A war. Normal,decent people are getting fed-up with their in-your-face “tolerance”.
Which minority? The blacks? The Chinese? The Samoans?
How about if those who oppose gay marriage boycott gay owned businesses? The media would be screaming bigot at every turn.
>> Deja vu all over again.
You can say that again.
Doug is president but his dad Rich is the founder.

Hmmmm.. I wonder if Amway still markets L.O.C...
The homos don`t understand we the traditional people, have FAR more economic clout than they can ever wish for in their dark little hearts.
Ha! Let them whine and complain. The homos can`t compete with us.
If they called it a disabilty instead of a minority they wouldn't have to work. ;-)
Amway I can’t support. Seen too many lives destroyed in that scam.
I bet most conservatives never even rode on Amtrack in their entire lives. I know I never did and never even thought of it. However, Amtrack has a ton of liberals that ride so I am sure that is why they are advertising to them. Who wants to ride a train when you can fly? That never made sense to me. If Amtrack was closed tomorrow it would have zero affect on me and most conservatives.
Perfect.........Amway and the militant gays deserve each other.
