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

Lol, you guys would really hate me if I owned a business. I'd be one of the people on the liberal news that you guys would demonize. Because I too wouldn't want to pay for the specific birth control types that most caused abortions. And I too donate money to my local Church. And while I think gay couples should have all the legal benefits/tax exemptions as same sex couples do as far as the state is concerned, as far as the Church itself is concerned, I agree with their decision to only do marriages between one man and one women who are not previously married.

The point is, you guys would think I was a horrible person without even knowing me. Just bc these ppl don't agree with you on certain things doesn't make them the demon.

I wouldn't hate you but if you publicly said that you donate your business profits to political causes I don't believe in or pay money to litigate cases I don't agree with, I would take my shopping dollars elsewhere instead of knowingly and indirectly supporting causes I don't believe in.
You're free to believe in what you wish and, likewise, potential customers are free to shop where they please.

Also, C_L, the thread question goes both ways - would you patronize a business that openly and aggressively supports/ donates to causes you don't believe in?

I already answered. If I were to boycott businesses who did things I didn't agree with, I'd be boycotting all of them, I'm sure.

Yeah, of course ppl can boycott whatever they want. I was just explaining why I think it's an overreaction to think hobby lobby and chick fil a are that horrible. I think it was gentleman who specifically asked me about those 2.
