Big companies are hoping to marry their brands to gays and lesbians this weekend about 20,000 of them. In the first days after the presidential election in which gay marriage proved to be a pivotal issue the nation's biggest exposition on homosexual life is setting attendance records. Booths for exhibitors are also sold out for the first time at the Javits Center, which since 1999 has hosted Gay Life Expo, one of the center's liveliest trade shows. Companies ranging from Citigroup and American Express to Jet Blue and J.P. Morgan Chase are hawking their offerings to the crowds, described by organizers as brand-loyal big spenders who are hard to please.

Tylenol is one of Johnson and Johnson's companies. You boycott J&J and life will be a lot more inconveinient. They make "splenda" BTW. Also I expect a lot of tylenol will have to be used this weekend at an event like that.
I hear the Dims are blaming Gays for the big loss tuesday. Gays are about to find out what the Dims really think of them now that they are a political liability.
I hope I'm wrong. But just look at how they've turned on Kerry already. The problem with liberalism is that all that touchy feely talk is all just talk. Sigh, another special interest group disenfranchised.....
Following that logic, why should I personally care about murder in Cleveland? After all, it won't personally hurt me. We approve and disapprove of activities that are good or bad for society at large, not just our personal selves.

For any company out there reading this, I actively boycott ALL businesses that promote or pander to the homosexual lobby.
And since I live in the SF Bay Area, I see your advertising targeted at the homosexual "community" and I read the news that discusses pro-homosexual businesses. You might think that you can push this crap in San Francisco and other large urban markets, while putting on a "traditional values" face and hiding your pro-homosexual proclivities from the rest of the country. But we are on to you. You can no longer count on the mainstream media to cover-up your actions. The Internet is the new free press of the 21st century. And in case you didn't notice from this last election, Conservative values are making a strong comeback in America.
I may seem like a small voice, but just know that I represent a large silent MAJORITY that is sick of the homosexual agenda. For each homosexual customer you pick up, you are probably losing three or more regular Americans. As news of your pro-homosexual business practices spread into America's heartland, that loss ratio will increase. You have been warned.
Here's a list of exhibitors. Heh.

you asked a question in your post #11 and I answered it.
Well, now we know who to boycott.
You just had to slip that post in, didn't you? ;)
It's called Capitalism. Gays have alot of money.

My family does as well. I have not missed Disneyland at all, nor will I miss anything by any company that panders to gays. I dont use tylenol either. Hope bayer is not on the list, if it is, I'll suffer thru the occasional headache rather than supprt the decling morality of this nation.
BTW I have not missed paying at the box office for movies with terror-loving liberal "stars" in them either!
It is not very hard to live by a good personal value system, no company can provide me with the Peace of God.
Just preposterous. So you won't frequent any business that advertises to Gays? You've just drastically cut your choices. I don't know how being against Gay marriage has now manifested itself into being against Gays. It's their life, they have a right to sleep with whomever they want. Really now, you think by not going to CitiBank you're going to stop people from being Gay?
It is the way they court gay people. Have you seen the advertisement for wrinkle release by P & G?? They always have to make it perverse.
I agree with you, the cost of health care due to aids brought to us courtesy of the gay community is just one of many ways their "choices" hurt innocent people.
Good idea marking it as sarcasm.
My post got whacked -- it was intended as dry sarcasm.
When ANY company tries to "cut its morals to fit today's fashions", it will suffer. I know a brokerage house in my city that wants to build its gay business. In response, gay marriage is now a political issue for all its brokers because gay marriage is about financial benefits just as much or moreso than about publicly-recognized commitment. In the meantime, they have turned off a more important market, married heterosexuals. Why buy from a broker who doesn't see the world the way you do when there are 100 others around the block who do? Will your broker be as quick to call you about a market change if he really wants business from another "targeted" customer? Sensing that a salesperson is discriminating, perhaps against your best interests, does not inspire future business.
Most products are the same, there are just subtle differences in how they market them. I don't want to do business with companies that don't think I'm special. It's like talking to someone and noticing that they are looking at everyone else in the room instead of you. Why bother if you aren't appreciated?
Than God we have the self anointed like you to set us, uh, er, straight.
Seriously, I have no idea.
You might want to boycott everything, because I am sure much of what you own, so does some gay guy or lesbian.
Are you saying Modernman is not 'keeping good company' because he banks somewhere that might also be the banking choice for homosexuals?
