The concern is that soon just being quiet about it won’t be good enough. Everyone will have to affirm it as a condition of employment.

And Abraham asked God, "If there are 50 companies that do not support homosexuality, will you spare the country?"

And again... it’s already happening. Questions are being asked and silence no longer works.

They infiltrate into power and they certainly pretend to be the nice person to straight normal people but when they are with their homosexual pals the real person comes out.

Remember when Ford came out of them and over a million of us boycotted them . Yes their business went down, since they backed away form homosexuality their business has picked up.

publix came out for them with health benefits as if they were married, I have not shopped there since.

Koch brothers are not conservative anyway, they are liberal-tarians who have more in common with the radical left wing than even Dems and certainly not us on the right

Mob rule...just perfect.

Except for the "mobs" that actually voted to uphold traditional marriage in many states. You know, a government of the people.

This is because liberals and the lgbt community in particular spend a lot of time lobbying directly to big business

Plus if you don't agree with them (Mozilla creator/founder) or "discriminate" against them (by not providing services for their "weddings") they will do everything they can to destroy your career and ruin your life. Granted, those are mostly small companies, but the bigger companies don't want those activists against them.

Looky here at this letter. I’ve drawn my own line folks. This corporate pro-gay marriage thing and the GOP petition discussed below have crossed me over my breaking point. I’ve begun a personal quest to forward this letter to each and every of the 300 supporting RINOs. Becoming a Silence Dogood myself will cost me $147 in stamps, but I can no longer stand by and continue calling myself a conservative patriot without taking action. Consider joining the cause.

Mr. Kenneth B. Mehlman
C/O Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
9 West 57th Street
Suite 4200
New York, NY 10019

This letter regards your actions surrounding an effort you apparently headed to obtain petitionary signatures from certain 300 Republicans, including 30 who hold or held political office – for the express purpose of forwarding on 6 March 2015 an amici curiae friend of the court petition to the U.S. Supreme Court. Said document here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/257815641/Kenneth-B-Mehlman-Et-Al

The matter became evident to the public in this UPI newswire:
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2015/03/06/300-Republicans-petition-US-Supreme-Court-to-support-gay-marriage/5421425645731/#ixzz3TcmhdEuq

So Mr. Mehlman, using your own quoted words – you’re saying that Almighty God is “not legitimate” in his “fact-based reason(ing) for denying same-sex couples the same recognition in (natural) law that is available to opposite-sex couples.”

By what right sir, do you as former Republican National Committee Chairman spearhead such a friend-of-the-court petition drive to the Supreme Court? You most, as well as the other wrong-headed signatories, defile our Republican party before God. He will not be mocked and what you have done has pried one too-many planks from the party’s platform – respect for Judeo/Christians' and the Founding Fathers’ beliefs. In so many words, as Christ intoned to his disciples, “kick dirt upon that community for rejecting His truth.” So the same from me to you and your RINO co-signers.

I pity you for the judgment to come...and here on earth, your actions here caused at least this life-long Lincoln Republican out of the party, and along with the decision, no future supporting contributions. But being you outed yourself in 2010 as a homosexual I doubt you care about mere money from the people. Perhaps you even won, or were implied you’d win, your 30 pieces of silver from your former Harvard classmate the POTUS. RINO sure fits you, or better yet Benedict Arnold.

Signed,
Enough Is Enough,
Silence Dogood

I’m almost as disturbed by the companies that use 75% black people in their advertising, which is most of them. It’s quite disporportionate to the percentage of blacks in society. A subtle way to try to influence people’s perceptions. Blacks make up 11-12% of the population; let’s see that reflected in advertising. Even worse, when there’s a white model and a black one, the black is always the smartest one in the room.

Maybe it’s no big deal, and just one of my pet peeves, but I’m sick of it.

Gay marriage. Forced “diversity”. All of it is breaking down the fiber of America.
