Blind Eye to The Sad Truth

Do you not find it slightly disturbing that all of those companies opposing religious liberty in the name of LGBT rights are operating in countries where gays are facing fines, imprisonment and death? The hypocrisy of the major corporations that threaten boycotts in North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and other states in response to Religious Freedom Restoration Acts is dumbfounding.  Many of these same corporations are doing business in countries in which homosexuals are fined, jailed or killed for their lifestyle. Yet where is the action there? The sad truth is that many top corporations/companies have turned a blind eye to the horrors inflicted on the LGBT community in Middle Eastern countries.

The music mogul's and Hollywood’s hypocrisy is just as bad. Celebrity websites are filled with stories about stars of stage, screen and music vacationing in exotic locales like the United Arab Emirates – where being gay can be a death sentence. This being the case, why would these celebrities spend their money in nations that commit such atrocities?  As I have stated in previous posts, even family-friendly Disney is guilty of hypocrisy on the LGBT issue.

I am left with but one course of action. There’s only one way to stand up to corporate intimidators – with our money.  As of today, let us cease drinking Coca-Cola products, forgo select stage ,screen and music venues,  forget Disney, ship FedEx not UPS, etc.
