Yes, this is why a change of cultural perspective is needed: If the times shifted, and the agenda went out of fashion (and going out of fashion is about the worst thing to happen in America these days ) then these companies would quietly divest themselves of this agenda and its ideology.

In the meantime, these companies do not give a hoot or holler if a few out-of-step Christians call or email and cancel their business. National Organization for Marriage hosted a “Dump Starbucks” campaign: Well, the pro-gay groups countered with a “Thank Starbucks” campaign, which got 10x as many signatures. Its a losing battle if the culture does not shift.

The American people are so run down with pressures in life they experience every day..job losses, high taxes, cost of goods rising that 95% of Americans don't care about these pro gay attempts by these companies...94% are not even aware to begin with...they just don't care even if they did...it is so far down on the importance list.

All this boycotting does is make the person who boycotts feel a little bit better but does not mean a hill of beans. General Mills is a huge co with huge market share in just about every area...that is just about impossible to not buy one of their products in daily life.

That is the cold hard truth.

I'm not going to waste my time going through stores with a boycott/not boycott list....

Are you saying we should do what everyone else is doing and forget what we believe is wrong to please people?
