ZOOOOOM!

No argument about this at all. I'm just saying it's their right to do this and isn't "inappropriate" in terms of decent conduct. I mean, I'm not one to talk, I don't shop at Borders or B&N because I think the stores make people stupid. We're all free to draw our own lines in the sand. Now if they started to lobby or something that would be taking the ridiculousness up a notch, but still I just see this as gay activists letting their politics run their lives. |

That's a personal choice, Aqua. I've never heard you exhort others to do so on a mass scale to try to manipulate those firms' behavior. Huge difference. You have the right to make that choice. The corollary is that there was a group who tried to get you fired from your job because you feel that way. |

Well yeah that's what makes it worse, but seriously, what are they gonna do here? What leverage do they possibly have? The closer we'd get to extortion the more serious I'd take the issue, but I don't see these people having much pull here at all. |

I don't know. If 5% of Target shoppers quit shopping, that would be an enormous hit on the company. It is extortion. |

you use the word tyranny. Tyranny is something to be afraid of. So, I assumed you are afraid of gay people. Passive-aggressive is characterizing any suspect class as tyrannical, demanding lockstep loyalty, referring to them as brownshirts etc. If I ever come across as passive-aggressive please let me know. I have no reason to be. |

Yet you are. Anything that comes up, you trot out the old 'you criticize us so you are afraid of us' dog and pony. Although I have to say that you have been far more willing to look honestly at some of others' concerns than other gay posters, that is still avoiding the subject by demonizing the opposition. Tyrannical? I'm not sure what else you would call a movement that turns on companies that support it where it really counts, that demands 100% compliance with the program. |

The article doesn't really bear out your thread title. Last time I looked, moveon.org was not a gay rights movement. |

Another dodge. The interpretation of what I read was mine. |

There's nothing wrong with voting with one's wallet. But, the extent to which this "boycott" is honored by the "gay movement", whatever that is, is probably close to nil. |

So who else considered and discarded the idea of posting the pun thread "Tranny of the gay movement"? |

When gay people have to resort to accusing others of "being afraid of gay people", I think the gay movement is in trouble. If people are really afraid of gay people, don't you think that gay people have sent the wrong message? If gay people think that people are afraid of them, is that something to be proud of, or something for gays to worry about? |
