You have a right to free speech but you do not have a right to insert that speech into private matters. None at all.

They are welcome to proclaim their views publicly any where they wish that will have them say it. They do not have a right to deny free association or intrude upon private affairs.

Huh? In the Ameria I live in you are allowed to organize a protest, including organize boycotts. What part of "free speech" don't you understand.

Free speech and free association are both a part of the 1st Ammendment to the Constitution. They are part of the "checks and balances" that our Founders envisioned making our system strong. As it turns out they were right and it is working beautifully.

Adherence to the principles embodied in the 1st Ammendment is a two-way street. Make it a one-way street and you trash the 1st Ammendment.
