I think for a lot of people, their main issue revolved around Prop 8 being a civil rights issue. You are correct, however, in your example of a CEO cheating on their significant other, and for some people that is a breach of trust enough to not want to do business with that company. I agree completely that your business is no one else's but your own, but if your beliefs interfere with the rights and well-being of others, you can expect backlash.

All this will do is encourage people to give money in ways that can't easily be traced. Mob rule will lead to LESS accountability, not more.

I've given money to Lambda Legal Defense Fund for years, but that doesn't mean I support rule by the Booboisie.
