On Thursday, dozens of American corporations, including Apple, Alcoa, Facebook, eBay, Intel, and Morgan Stanley will submit an amicus brief in the landmark Hollingsworth v. Perry case broadly arguing to the U.S. Supreme Court that laws banning same-sex marriages, like California's ballot initiative Proposition 8, are unconstitutional under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses

I for one would like to commend Apple, Alcoa, Facebook, eBay, Intel, Morgan Stanley and anyone else who would come forward in support of "gay marriage."

I would much rather have these companies come out of the closet --- so to speak --- so that I know who to stop buying goods and services from and direct my dollars towards companies that support my values.

So Intel, my next computer will have an AMD Processor in it. eBay, well I stopped buying anything off eBay several years ago. Facebook can always KMA and fortunately for me, I closed any Morgan Stanley investment accounts I had long ago, 1999 IIRC.

As for Apple, well let's just say my last iPad purchase (last year) was my LAST purchase from Apple.

I like to call it "Informed Capitalism." And that's as it should be. Let's have all these homosexual, sodomy loving companies come out of the closet so we know who they are and stop supporting them. It's that simple.

And trust me on this: Average, every day Americans DO pay attention to the companies that work against their own personal interests and do NOT buy from them. That again, is as it should be.

AMD is considered reasonably LGBT friendly.

Not as friendly as Apple, mind you, but they’re above 50% on the Human Rights Campaign’s list of companies. They score 5% higher than Wal-Mart.
