Help With GLBT Boycott Efforts. Here Are Some Businesses.

[Yes We Did]

These links lead you to lists of businesses owned by the Mormon church. You might be surprised just how many they are; many of them major companies.

We should all do what we can; it's not just about GLBT rights; it's about Civil Rights.

From the United States Declaration of Independence

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Notice... It does NOT say "that Only Angry Straight White men" are created equal...

1. K&R!!!

I also bookmarked this thread so I'll have it in the future

[EFerrari]

2. Thanks, demdog78. I wish someone would add big Catholic contributers

because it was the San Francisco archdiocese that invited the Mormons into California. And to save energy, I am Catholic.

[Yes We Did]

3. I'm looking... but not finding anything.

Only business partners for individual churches.

[EFerrari]

4. The protectmarriage Fheads took their donor list down

before I could copy it last week, the cowards.

If I have a minute tonight, I'll see what I can dig up, too, okay? :hi:

[Yes We Did]

5. Yeah, only thing I've been able to find is...

A bunch of religion based businesses; ones the vast majority of people (all people) wouldn't use anyway.

[EFerrari]

6. The Knights of Columbus seem to have an insurance business that is their main source of income.

I'm limited on this machine right now. But, I suspect that if you wanted to hit these people, you'd start here:

[Yes We Did]

7. That site makes my head hurt.

I thought the only thing they did was sell that horrible spaghetti & meatballs on the third saturday each month.

[EFerrari]

10. I know, me, too. I put up a research thread where we can post info

as we find it. Imho, these people need every bit as much attention as the Mormons. Anyway:

11. Thanks...

Oh, and disgregard the PM I sent you as it pertains to this specific post. I misread something.

[Irishonly]

8. Bookmarked

I can't spell it but the chicken fast food chain El Pollo Loco should be added. The owner is a contributer to yes. Check the GLTB board for others.

There were some mormons doing their thing in my neighborhood this morning. My No on 8 and two very, loud growling dogs scared them away. The dogs were thrilled. Usually I make them stop.

[niyad]

9. have been boycotting the mormons ever since the ERA.

[SpookyCat]

12. Thank you demdog78.

Bookmarking for reference.

This fight isn't over, and I actually feel pretty optimistic, which is COMPLETELY against my nature! ;-)

[OwnedByFerrets]

13. I cant bend my brain around something....

How can an entity that obviously profits from owning corporations have a tax exempt status???

[Yes We Did]

14. Exactly!

It's complete bullshit!

[Yes We Did]

15. .

Just trying to get it out there...

[martymar64]

16. No problem!

I'm straight but I've always hated Mormons. I've lived out west amongst them and I've known for decades how much they suck.

Next time I see a Mormon missionary in my neighborhood, I'll be sure to punch him in the face for you.
