Don't Get Bitter; Make Your Case

Jennifer Vanasco disapproves of the prop 8 boycotts:

A boycott is good when a company is bad. When it harasses its LGBT employees; fires them for being gay; will not promote them; sells anti-gay products or services (say an anti-gay t-shirt).

A boycott is bad when a company is being targeted because of the personal donations of someone in the company especially when the company itself is pro-gay or gay neutral, as Cinemark is (it has high ranking, open gays in its leadership, it supports LGBT film festivals, it's running Milk). Or, for example, Marriott which, yes, is owned by a Mormon family, but which also scored 100 in the 2009 HRC Corporate Equality Index.
