Are Gays still boycotting the Cayman Islands?
I mean , Im still boycotting Coors, Delta ,Salvation Army, and others . Is it time to get a list of Gay unfriendly businesses, and press a renewed boycott?

5. The Caymans refused a gay cruise ship to port there
prompting immediate boycott.This was 5 or 6 years ago. My boycott of Delta is more personal. and mostly anecdotal, however a good friend was refused axcess to a flight out of SFO when he appeared with a lapel button saying" gay liberation now"

6. Salvation Army was caught cutting a Deal with Rove

so much money spent on ads to push'charitable' choice legislation, and the bushies would make these charities exempt fromlocal anti discrimination laws. this was last year- quid pro quo, sounds like graft to me. It seems that they want to take tax money paid by gays, but they don't want to hire them .

re the Caymans especially when the Bahamas stepped in and told the cruis co. that they were more than welcome there- sondsgood to me no? as for the SA , freedom of association fine, until yu start taking tax money. My freedom to organize against those who work to supress gays.I will not contribute to umbrella charities that include the Boy Scouts in their list.

12. fitz, what did you
ever boycott?
boycotts don't interefere with the right to free association -- it just organizes a bunch folks will not to freely associate with a particular place.
