surely its that very freedom that allows the Boycott and similar to happen?

Regardless of whether one supports the use of boycotts in the Prop. 8 context, the targeting of Mormons is gross hypocrisy considering that other groups, such as Blacks and Latinos, likely were the decisive electoral factor. A persuasive argument can be made that Mormons have been singled out because they are a relatively small group with political power mostly in one state. The irony of singling out a religious group which has itself been the victim of discrimination appears lost on anti-Prop. 8 boycott groups.

Failed miserably in our area....

So much for the great anti-support, which is filled with hypocrisy.

Let them boycott. It's within their rights. Why do we need to speak out against it?

Also, what's wrong with them employing hate speech? Did something happen where hate speech became illegal?

Also, let's keep in mind that it's only a portion of the Gay Right's constituency who is making all the noise. These feelings are not as widespread as they are sometimes presented in this forum.

Well this obviously is all of Satan's great work. So it won't go on forever. It just seems sad that groups that speak out against religious bigotry and hatered are not coming forward and saying this is wrong.

its worst thing they can do imo - best thing is to ignore it, a big far silence and no fight and it will stay out the news, and only the die hards will remember it next year

From the article:

These boycotts, which aim at suppressing political speech

Mormons went out of their way to support a bill that a lot of people strongly disagree with. The boycotts don't aim to supress political speech, the boycotts are political speech. If you take a stand against what people believe to be their civil rights you will end up getting people taking a stand against you. Why is that so difficult for people to understand? I support the LDS right to encourage people to vote for something, but I also support the right of people to peacefully express their disagreement and disgust at that decision.

Question: How much of a backlash would there have been if those for proposition 8 advertised and promoted a boycott of businesses, organizations, employees of those organizations and so on and so forth. No, not just a boycott of those in support of proposition 8, but with any business that employs and or affiliates with homosexuals in general. Because that is what is being called for. A boycott of Mormons, just because the majority of them supported prop 8.

You mean like the boycott that was called on Disney and Ford Motor Company because they offered dependent health care to homosexuals and advertised in magazines marketed to homosexuals? There have been plenty of boycotts called against companies that support the same sex marriage agenda.

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.
