Taking an openly anti gay stance or forcing your own religious views down your employee's throats goes beyond donating to christian organisations. In both cases, they openly interfere with the freedoms of individuals. That's not something I would support by giving them money.
But forcing a business owner to pay for something that they have a major moral objection to IS forcing beliefs down their throats. And let's remember to put this into context here. What hobby lobby was objecting to was to pay for only 4 out of about 20 different types of contraception. Their employees have at least a dozen other types of birth control paid for that they can pick from. If it's that much of a problem for someone, then work for a company who's insurance policies better suit your taste. It really doesn't seem so unreasonable to me.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
