The consolidated Massachusetts cases, currently before the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston, are the first to reach the federal appellate level, just one step down from the U.S. Supreme Court, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.

Here is the Amicus Brief listing the corporations, et al.

Time to knock off this DOMA bull****. It’s the DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT! One man. One woman. Not two sexual deviants or a freak and his goat.

"But "DOMA forces amici to investigate the gender of the spouses of our lawfully married employees and then to single out those employees with a same-sex spouse. DOMA enforces discriminatory tax treatment of spousal health care benefits."

How does DOMA impose costs on companies, or keep them from recruiting talent? If they want to offer benefits to partners, what’s stopping them? State laws regulate the health insurance.

My MIL’s gay hairdresser went out of business, lost his shop, because San Francisco imposed insurance coverage requirements on him - he couldn’t afford to pay insurance for men with AIDS.

Maybe huge companies like Microsoft and Time Warner can afford it; small businesses can’t.

Sort of tells you how wide spread the intimidation of the radical Homosexual agenda is.

It never ceases to amaze me how a group of people who only have a neurotic desire for unnatural sex in common can become so powerful.

I mean,what's to stop an organization comprised of booger eaters to demand special privileges—their behavior is almost as disgusting.

Thanks for posting the complete list. This one will be easy because there are relatively few companies I would purchase from anyway, mainly Levis, Nike, New Balance, even Scorchbucks (which I avoid because their coffee sucks, except that my daughter likes to go there, but now I will refuse).

I think we all need to start writing to Mickeysoft and telling them we don’t appreciate MSNBC and their propoganda and all the other libtard positions they take.

I may be stuck with wondows operating system (linux users: SHUT UP~!SHUT UP~!SHUT UP~!) But I dont have to buY x box of mickeysoft software any more

There are FREE alternatives and I am pretty certain I could convince my company they could save 10’s of thousands of dollars on open office

They Have Plans For America


America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. - Joseph Stalin

Yes indeed folks, the desire to equate REAL marriage with FAKE marriage is being brought full force.

You will swallow the demands of pro-homosexual relationships and be forced to embrace their behavior.

Hussein started this by refusing to enforce the law of the land.

And now his cult has infiltrated big businesses and other institutions.

Three things are needed, in this order:

We need a spiritual revival in America.
We need to fire Hussein in a year and a day.
We need to teach future generations the truth.

I stopped going to Starbucks when I learned they gave money to Planned Parenthood.

‘Led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), more than 130 Democratic lawmakers filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit to rebut the Republican defense that the federal ban on gay marriage is constitutional.”

Nancy Pelosi: another Progressive that claims she is a Christian and hears “the Word”, and yet continues to back agendas that include baby killing and deviant sexual behavior.
