Plus, most people here know GE, but they cannot conceive of what a truly gigantic business it is, until they've gone on the tour. The company's publicity is accurate--the average American, at any given time, is usually within a few feet of some item manufactured by GE. The literature they gave me for my trip home was jaw-dropping. I had no idea GE was into some of the things they are.BTW, their diversity program is one of the best in the world. It speaks to how they are able to pump out so many, many products of every description, year in and year out...the company is a monster! |

And many businesses are funding groups and lobbyists who support gay marriage. My objection is not to the dialog. Its to the attempt to disrupt the business because you disagree with the message. |

I have no problem with support of either POV. I object to trying to disrupt the business because that's where the money comes from that supports one side of the fence. Should Anti-gay marriage groups be free to jam up bars and restaurants who cater to a predominantly gay clientele so they can't contribute to pro-gay causes? Remember the old saying, "Your free speech ends at the tip of the other person's nose." |

MY quote, "YOu RWers are acting as if ", states that who said CFA "is great"?Those who ACT are engaging in a display of fantasy and feigned emotion. The entire discussion is about a boycott of a corporation that is directly funding hate groups. That makes questioning your intention towards GE completely logical and within the scope of the conversation. You obviously are incapable of conducting a conversation, which is evidenced by your post and consistent trolling every visit without any substantiative contribution to any conversation. You don't get thing one. It's also "You're" or "You are" as one cannot own a "fumfer". It's a verb, moron. |

Those were the real bad guys and we supported their Constitutional rights so we can do it here too. I'll explain.The head fil-a can say what he wants and he can contribute to whomever he wants; it's his right. So can you and so can others who fund gay organizations. You have the right to protest his statements and actions as well, which you have. You have to put yourself in these anti-gay people's shoes. There's this gay marriage whirlwind coming at them and it's really fast and they don't know what to do other than dig in and fight it. At some point they'll become irrelevant and we'll wonder what the noise was about. I still think the idea of just going to CFA on family nights is best. Just buy a small drink and sit there and have fun and slowly things will get better. And you'll drive Candy nuts knowing Family Night is part gay. your pal, Fred |

A boycott is SUPPOSED to disrupt business. The whole idea of this boycott is to force losses so the corporation will be unable to contribute to hate groups.Anti-marriage equality groups are free to boycott establishments that cater to gays. However, I doubt bar owners are contributing big $$$ to hate groups. |

What the Nazis were doing in Skokie and what CFA is supporting are two very different things. GFA is finding groups that are trying to keep gays and lesbians from achieving full equality as Americans--and these groups fund the campaigns of legislators who enact laws to keep us from enjoying the same rights as everybody else.Now, these anti-gay people are facing a "whirlwind"--social change--which is what progressive societies do when they evolve. Forty years ago, it was interracial marriage, today, it's us gays. I think GLAAD's "kiss-in" is a lighthearted, nonviolent way to call attention to OUR side of the issue--and, BTW, it was planned and announced BEFORE Huckabee's little stunt yesterday. It will disrupt mo one else from patronizing CFA, except, perhaps, those who think only straight people are entitled to kiss in public. Of course, that includes people like LuchAAA, who see this as an act of terrorism. Ironically, I won't be doing the kiss-in tomorrow at NYU's CFA. I've got too much on my (literal) plate as it is...including the annual NYC Black LGBT Pride Week events later this month, which I help plan and operate. :) |

I agree, Fred, the Cathys have the right to say what they wish and contribute to their chosen causes. As individuals. With their own personal money.However, these contributions to hate groups are being made by the *corporation*, not an individual. That is why there's a boycott going on. |
