First if was the gays now everyone else

http://americablog.com/2014/03/american-bars-boycott-russian-vodka-ukraine-crimea.html

Bars in Tennessee and Texas have begun boycotting Russian vodka in response to Russia’s invasion, and now-annexation, of Ukraine’s Crimea region.

A similar boycott of Russian vodka last year, primarily focused on superstar-brand Stolichnaya, is credited for bringing worldwide attention and condemnation to Russia’s draconian crackdown on its gay and trans citizens.

And now, as always, it seems the gays were, as usual, ahead of the trend.
