Would You Boycott a Business Because of the Owner's Political Views?

What about companies that want to make a political view you strongly disagree with a matter of their company policy, as Chick-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby have?

I would never go out of my way to avoid patronizing a place just because they believe these things. I would, however, if they posted a sign in the window saying "Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve" or "Trump is a Gift from God," advertising their position.

To be fair, it's a safe assumption that any business in the U.S. is christian owned. Even in the most secular states, they are still the majority. But, like you said, going out of the way to avoid them without some external expression of backwards, vile views (which not all christians adhere to) is a waste of time and effort.
