    No, not really. No matter what you do, somebody somewhere is pretty much guaranteed to take offense at that. That doesn't mean that you should lose your job over it.

    So, when they disagree with you they're sheeple?

    And since you don't believe I should boycott a company over gay rights, what behaviour justifies a boycott in your opinion? Or should we just continue buying stuff without any thought given to company behaviour?

    Making shoddy product/service, illegal business practices, etc. You know, the stuff that actually has something to do with the product that the company produces.
