"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 3/8/09 at 1:17pmI am gay, and will continue to buy from these places. I really don't care about who they are, it's the product I care about.

I had never read the story about the 4 firefighters, but I must agree that they shouldn't have been forced to participate in a gay pride parade.

Posted: 3/8/09 at 1:39pmI already don't patronize most of these places. As much as I will not buy a product or patronize a business exclusively because it's gay owned/operated, I also will not give any money to any organization that discriminates against any group of people.

My favorite place on that list was the chain of indie movie theaters that show "independent, thought-provoking films, the kind gay people usually see".
Hilarious.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Doesn't being a complete corporate whore give you a warm feeling?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 3/8/09 at 5:54pmNice to see that Blockbuster Video didn't make the list this year.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I try and avoid Walmart anyway. For different reasons.
Like needing to do a full body scrubdown when I walk out.

goth, it's just because they probably won't be around next year.
Oh, and Terry Caster...yeah. We've had a few discussions about him and his very special theatre-loving son on here.

I agree about Domino's singtopher! Yuck! Especially with so many locally owned independent pizza delivery places.
Anyhoo, the only one of those I ever use is Mobil gas and only if it's the first station I see when I'm about to run out.

Many, many companies in this country don't give benefits to extended family members - either gay or straight. Doesn't mean that they "hate gays." That's why it's called a benefit...something that they are giving you. Sure, you have to pay a part of it from your check, or the office co-payment. But, the bottom line is...they are giving it to you.
And, if the head of some of the companies gave money for Prop 8, that doesn't mean that every single employee of the company agrees with it.

'I am gay, and will continue to buy from these places. I really don't care about who they are, it's the product I care about."
and you remember that you moron when one day you're wearing a pink triangle and are kept in camps.....
People like you make me sick. What these companies are doing is gayt-bashing, plain and simple.....and YOU are gay-bashing by buying from them
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

and what the hell does that mean? Ever heard of "the buck stops here?" The buck stops at the heads of those companies.....sorry, I don't care what the employees think....I won't buy from them due to their owners bigotry

Like I said earlier on this post, just because the founder, President, CEO, etc...is not gay friendly, doesn't mean that every single employee in the company feels that way.
It would be like saying, "Well, Joe in Accounting at Price Industries is a coke head. I guess everyone who works at that company must do drugs. So, I won't buy anything from Price Industries." Doesn't make any sense.
Let's use some common sense here.
