EDIT: So I woke up this morning to find that there were a few "hate comments" for this post... not what I expected to wake up to. Funny thing is, I checked Google Analytics, and it shows that NOONE searched my blog today through any keywords. They were all referred by other sites, all of them being a part of our little gay blog community. So what the heck are these haters doing hanging around gay sites?? sigh...

doug

bob
whine whine whine, that is all you queer leftist socialist fags do. Damn, get over it, you lost and NO you are NOT like the rest of the hetero world.
Go Mormons!!!
And Go Yard House!!! My Friends and I will make sure to spend more money at the Yard House now that you are trying to boycott. As a matter of fact I had never heard of the Yard House until all you faggots started screaming about them so my friends and I went to check it out and now it is our favorite place to drink and eat. I am SURE we spend way more money there then any of the queers do.
GO YARD HOUSE!!!
It is important for all who believe in equality to spend their money wisely. I found my dentist on the list of prop 8 contributors. There is no way I want my money going to someone depriving me of my rights. I can't trust him to treat me fairly if he thinks I am not equal. I buy all expensive items from Massachusetts or Canada and have them shipped to me here in H8. I also spend more for items like produce from Canada, food items from Spain, Norway, Sweden, Argentina and other countries that are truly home of liberty. I would boycott any goods from the bigoted USA but I can't find anything made here!
Dave,
Why are you reading gay blogs?
Seriously!! If you don't like gay content...don't read it.
Read your own straight gay-hating content.
Mrs HCI and Joie
This Fag Blog popped up as I have a google alert for Yes on 8 and I read it as it was talking about your stupid boycott of businesses because they used their freedom of choice to make a donation to Yes on 8! Fags, go back in the closet your whining and boycotts will not work and you know it. Do you think any of the businesses you are "boycotting" are really going to be hurt at all by not getting your pittance? I think not.
Go suck another dick or two.
Go Kathy Griffin!!!
Go Kathy Griffin?...
wow. some straight people must have been super bored over the weekend. lol.
wow people are really morons. See now were using our expression of freedom of choice to boycott these businesses because we don't like what they donated money to. I'm was very surprised when I learned Prop 8 passed. And now we get so see why.
Hahaha....I <3 gays.
Thanks for posting this list, which I have not seen or heard about until now. Keep spreading the word so that those of us who H8 H8rs can stop giving them money!
Dave...
Do I think those businesses will be hurt by us boycotting? Maybe...maybe not. But, in a hurting economy...I think businesses will start to perk their ears up a little. As for the LGBT (that's Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered) community, MarketResearch.Com projects the buying power of just LGBT to be $759 Billion in 2009. If they decided to save their money...that's a lot of loss that could happen to those businesses. You're entitled to your own opinion, of course. Spend your money wherever you want. We'll spend our $759 Billion where we want. Go Kathy Griffin? Yeah, she's not gay. She just loves Gay people. Go Mormons? They hate everyone.
Sorry to be a bitch on your blog comments, Doug. :)
Go tolerance!
You know, Dave, those who express anger toward gay folks typically tend to be... well, nevermind. Just let us know when you're ready to come out.
But no more wasting pixels on bigots. I'm curious to know if these boycotts are officially tracked and coordinated somewhere. Otherwise, how will I know which El Pollo Locos are "OK" and which are on the blacklist. How will I know when it's OK to eat at Yard House again? Maybe some of these places have already been removed from the boycott list?
