Why? If I say I support traditional marriage or I am pro life or I am pro choice or I am Atheist or I am an alien from Mars, but I am violating nobody else's rights and I am not forcing my opinions or belief upon anybody; what gives you a RIGHT to organize a boycott and damage my business because you don't like my point of view? How is that not a restraint of my legal trade? A violation of my person and right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? How is that not a violation of my unalienable rights to be who and what I am? How do you justify it on any kind of sense of justice, fair play, or morality?
And if you are convinced that such boycotts are the American way then is it okay to organize a boycott against the minority owned business? The women owned business? The gay guy who opens up a shop? The person who speaks out in favor of political correctness? Where do you draw the line? Or do you?
(For the record I think trying to intentionally hurt somebody's livelihood or drive a person out for such reasons is entirely immoral, should be culturally taboo, and should be illegal.)
Chick-fil-a comes to mind! The fact that they offer free breakfasts to the needy seems to be something that need not be considered, according to the haters among us! :thumbdown:
