80. Not unless they discriminate against others.
Edited on Mon May-19-08 12:25 PM by AspieGrrl
I try to avoid homophobic and transphobic companies (such as those that don't offer same sex partner benefits, or don't have anti-discrimination policies which include sexual orientation and gender identity). It's not based on religion - it's based on the fact that I would rather support a company who's more inclusive. Also, I try to avoid companies that contribute to homophobic, transphobic, sexist, racist or ableist organizations. Even if I wasn't a pesctarian who tries to eat healthy and hates greasy food, I still wouldn't eat and Chick-Fil-A because of all the money they give to Focus on the Family.

But, if they can "flaunt" their religion without being a bunch of discriminatory assholes? That's totally, 100% fine by me.
