In 1992, Levi's found itself
at odds with the Boy Scout's 'Three Gs' principle that had
guided the Scouts' membership model for more than 80 years
-- that everyone is welcome, provided they are not gay,
godless, or a girl. San Francisco-based Levi's pulled
its Boy Scout funding,
due to the group's exclusion. In response, Republican Dana
Rohrabacher encouraged a 'grassroots' counter-boycott of
Levi Strauss and his Texan colleage, Tom DeLay, was even
more extreme in his reaction: "When Texans find out that the
Levi's they have on go toward attacks on the Boy Scouts of
America... they'll take off those Levi's and burn them in
the streets."

In June 2012, Oreo posted a photo of
a rainbow sextuple-stacked cookie to its Facebook page
in honor of Pride month. While the responses were mostly positive,
some commenters were outraged, even calling for a boycott of
the product. Still, Basil Maglaris, Kraft's associate director of
corporate affairs, said that
the positive comments on the post "far outweighed" the negative
ones.

In 2004, Procter and Gamble angered
conservatives by
opposing an anti-gay rights statute that would exempt gays and
lesbians from special civil rights protection in its hometown of
Cincinnati. In response, the American Family Association issued
a boycott of
some of P&G's most popular products, including Tide Detergent, and
gathered petition signatures from almost 365,000 families urging
Procter & Gamble to change its policy.

A May 2012 post on
the American Family Association web site proclaims, "AFA is
promoting a boycott of Home Depot until it agrees to remain neutral
in the homosexual culture war. The total number of people who have
signed the Home Depot boycott pledge is 719,037." The pledgecondemns
Home Depot for giving "financial and corporate support to open
displays of homosexual activism," because this helps expose "small
children to lascivious displays of sexual conduct by homosexuals and
cross-dressers." In response to the pledge,
which was delivered at Home Depot's annual shareholder meeting,
Chairman Blake responded,
"We are, and will remain, committed to a culture that fosters an
inclusive environment for our associates, our customers and
communities in which we exist."

Diapers are essential to fulfilling
the straight family-making dream, which make them an odd target of a
'pro-family' boycott. However, in 2004, Proctor and Gamble angered
conservatives by
opposing an anti-gay rights statute that would exempt gays and
lesbians from special civil rights protection in its hometown of
Cincinnati. In response, the American Family Association
issued a boycott of
some of P&G's most popular products, including Pampers Diapers, and
gathered petition signatures from almost 365,000 families, urging
Procter & Gamble to change its policy.

After it was discovered that PepsiCo
gave a combined $1,000,000 to the Human
Rights Campaign and PFLAG (Parents,
Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) to promote the so-called
"homosexual lifestyle" in the workplace, the American Family
Association posted a "Boycott
Pepsi Pledge,"
urging conservatives to stay away from Pepsi drinks, Frito Lay
chips, Quaker Oats, and Gatorade.

In May 2012, Target announced that
100% of the purchase price of any of its Pride merchandise would be
donated to the pro-LGBT Family
Equality Council. The American
Family Association lamented that
"Target is joining President Obama in ramming same-sex marriage down
the throats of the American people" and urged members to contact
Target Chairman Gregg Steinhafel, to "let him know that a majority
of Americans oppose same-sex marriage and are able to use their
pocketbooks to voice their opposition to companies that support it."
It should be noted that Target has also come under fire from gay
advocates. In
2011, Lady Gaga nixed a deal with Target for
an exclusive special edition of her "Born This Way" album after it
was revealed that the brand had donated $150,000 to MN Forward, a
group that was backing Tom Emmer's gubernatorial bid in Minnesota.
Emmer was known for being especially conservative and not supporting
equal rights for LGBT citizens.

In 2006, Walgreen's was a
Platinum-Level sponsor of the Chicago "Gay
Games." According to Tom Kovach of RenewAmerica.com,
"by its very definition, the 'Gay' Games will invite people from all
over the world to come to Chicago this summer and have homo-sex,"
and Walgreen's support contradicted it "squeaky-clean,
family-friendly corporate image." Kovach wasn't alone in his
condemnation -- the Illinois Family Institute

Colorado-based Chipotle Mexican Grill has withdrawn its coupon offer for
the upcoming Utah "Scout-O-Rama" near Salt Lake City, an annual event
that plays host to 15,000-20,000 Scouts and their family members. A

violates its company anti-discrimination policy, which states that the
company should not support organizations that exclude based on sexual
orientation. |
Hasbro Indoctrinates Kids With a Transsexual Superhero
“SheZow.”
The main character is a 12-year-old boy named Guy who gets powers from a
magic ring.
It all sounds pretty standard, except that Guy’s superpower is to turn
into a girl. Uttering the phrase “You go, girl,” Guy becomes a preteen
transsexual superheroine with thigh-high boots and a cape.

Multi-national mega-corporation McDonalds set off a firestorm of
