"Any public backlash would have happened a long time ago. We're hopeful that the law catches up with where — as the brief shows — a lot of corporate America is," says Thomas Maloney, director of government affairs at Marriott. His company signed the brief without fear of getting boycotted, he says. - npr.org
Goodbye Marriott rewards card!
Oh, no! Not Crazy Misfits Pet Services!
Here’s my wish.
When the stock market crashes, and this economy collapses, which it inevitably will, ALL of these people lose EVERYTHING.
Somebody put America on suicide watch.
According to the census bureau there are 5,847,000 corporations in the U.S. and 278 of them are against DOMA.
Failure (in his mind) is not an option.
My neighbors across the street are a gay couple. I don't think they realize how they are extending the Satanic agenda.
Nice guys too...just don't know how to reach them.

Pardon my stating the obvious, Tommy, but the much larger news might be...
How many businesses nationwide, large and small and in between, ARE NOT SUPPORTING THE PERVERTS?
really. bye bye to all. especially starbucks.
That’s one big boycott list!
Firefly Creative!!? Say it ain’t so, Joe!
Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.
maybe i’m way off base here but as i’v been reading for the last two days the pro gay marriage people say they are for it because the government shouldn’t choose one type of people over another for a law/ institution.
well what about only certain people qualifying for affirmative action?
only certain poor people qualifying for pell grants
only certain poor people allowed to get welfare?
only certain disabled people get disability checks?
only certain kind of people get drivers license?
only certain people can get licenses for all sorts of things. etc. etc. and just as an aside...doesn’t the constitution say something about inaliable rights endowed by our creator? how can they say the constitution and marriage equality law have nothing to do with religion if the constitution was designed to follow religion?
Of course they want go have gay marriage. They do not want to lose all of those customers and know that current customers will not boycott.
I’ll bet that, if such a petition existed, many of these companies (and more) would sign onto support:
divorce (without Biblical cause)
abortion on demand
pre-marital sex
pornography
and a bunch of other sins.
And if they wouldn’t publicly, I’ll bet their CEOs and boards of directors and major shareholders would do it themselves. The point is, I don’t know if boycotting is realistic. You may as well boycott the world, because if you don’t want to support companies who “support” sins in some way, you’ll have to go Amish and make all of your own clothes, shoes, churn your own butter, etc.
Boycotts may be effective when one company is doing something, but when the whole world is, a genuine boycott would be to drop off the grid, and nobody cares about people who do that.
It’s more important to spread the Word of God to people, to plant the seeds. Then from that, people will either believe and be saved or they won’t.
Bummer that Amazon, Intel, and JNJ are on the list. I could care less about the other ones.
