Queer-Hugging Liberal Corporations

It seems that the anti-gay forces of the world have their backs up against the wall. Everybody knows boycotts against large, diversified companies simply don't work (even boycotts against undiversified companies like Coca-Cola don't work), so it's got to be desperation that made a conservative group call for a boycott of Crest and Tide.

"Procter & Gamble, to my knowledge, is the first corporation in this country that has given money for a political campaign pushing the homosexual political agenda," said the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon, founder of the American Family Association.

Note that they don't ask their members to boycott every other Proctor and Gamble product, like Swiffer, Jif peanut butter, or Pringles. Because that would actually require sacrifice, and Americans are completely and totally unwilling to make sacrifices at the expense of lifestyle.

I'd like to add that as a longtime P&G stockholder, I'm awfully proud of the company.
