A boycott of Mormons, just because the majority of them supported prop 8.

People are free to boycott whoever they like. If people want to boycott all but the most bigoted companies, then they are free to do so. I might point and laugh that they can no longer even buy toilet paper anymore, but I really wouldn't care or claim that free speech is being supressed.
For the record, I would not boycott any Mormon businesses or even advise anyone else to, but I have no problem with people using where they spend their money to make a statement. I do find it incredibly funny though that many Mormons get this attitude of "but that's not fair when people single us out!" after making such a big stink about how they have the right to claim homosexuals are being immoral and go out of their way to make sure they can never get married to the person they love.
