I debated responding to this because it is so dumb, but I have a few minutes so here goes.  It is one thing for a corporation to provide financial support to some organization and entirely another to openly promote values in their advertising that I find objectionable.  I am quite sure all those corporations give money to organizations that you dislike but none of us are asking you to boycott them.  I switched from Gillette to Dollar Shave Club because of their advertising.  I no longer shop at Dicks because of the stupid reason for their decision to no longer sell guns (although as we now know it was because their CEO was setting up a run for political office).  I don't buy coffee at Starbucks because of their very vocal statement that if I don't believe what they believe on certain social issues then don't buy our product.......not to mention they burn their beans.  I don't spend my life looking to be offended like you leftists and will only respond to egregious behavior on the part of a corporation.

But I am not advocating boycotting corporations simply because they donate money to groups I dislike or disagree with because that is kind of dumb.  But if they take the route of Gillette, Dicks or Starbucks I will certainly go out of my way to find a competitor and take my business elsewhere.  But that's my personal decison and your mileage may vary.
