This has noting to do with the free market. This was mobs of bigots demanding their way. There is nothing right about this, and there is nothing good about it. It is as bad as any organized crime mob thuggery.

This is the tyranny of angry mobs of lawbreakers. They are perpetrators of vandalism, bullying, and public ridicule of anyone who doesn't agree with them. They threaten peoples businesses, and rob people of Liberty and their pursuit of happiness.

These are the homosexual Taliban. Quite frankly, I'm tired of remaining silent. I intend to speak out against their bigotry and hate, and their criminal behavior.

I don't mean to be flip, but what exactly is a Christian business?
Other than a business that specializes in Christian stuff which I don't know if Jesus would
really be that crazy about, isn't respect of others a common thread that
runs through "all businesses" if they want to succeed.

You mean like the attempt to boycott Amazon because their founder donated to pro marriage equality?

How did that work out?

I agree with you. This had nothing to do with the market. These Leftist criminals (make no mistake, some of these are the same ones who vandalized homes, automobiles and other properties of those who supported Prop 8) be in support of free market principles only when their interests are served, not the interests of others. They are the worst kind of hypocrites and liars. They are hate filled bigot that demand special rights, and rights which violate the rights of those exercising their constitutionally protected rights.
You better go get a paper towel to wipe the spittle off your screen.

Pardon me while I grab my gun and go back to the gay army now. We've received orders to march on a Baptist church

Or wait...should we be forced?



of course I am all for boycotting
all I am saying is this bashing just because someone does not agree with gay marriage
LOL
I don't care who gets married
some folks can not seem to do anything but yell about being gay
but then they get pissed if everyone else is not as excited about it or if they disagree about it
they are like children, not all, most gay folks are secure in who they are they do not have to try and burn folks at the stake if everyone is not waving rainbow flags
good grief give it a rest~

and the race baiters all they see is race
frankly both are boring~~

If gays want freedom than they need to start respecting the freedoms of others.



most gays are not militant
they just want to live their lives like the rest of us
these blowhards are different they are like the racist blacks like Obama and his herd
they browbeat folks
well I do not submit to these minions~~

It's their right, but this is a bit much. "At issue was Eich's $1,000 donation in 2008 to the campaign to pass California's Proposition 8." That bill passed by popular vote; it's not as if he was way out on his own. I'm not a fan of boycotting a business because of someone's personal stance on an item on the ballot. Is the next step to boycott a business because someone has a political sign in their yard for a canidate people don't like? It may be a legal right, but that doesn't make it right.

They have a lot of boycotting to do to get to all those people that voted for Prop 8. I'm sure they'll start that right after moving out of California.

This is absurd, a good company getting rid of one of their co-founders because he made a donation of $1000 six years ago in a losing cause. He should be judged on his performance not on minutia that occurred 6 years ago, this is a dumb business decision.
