Our country is equally divided on most social, economic and political issues.

For whatever reason, some businesses voluntarily pick a side. We've seen the self- inflicted wounds in sagging sales, boycotts, and negative publicity. The decision is made at the board or management level while stock holders pay the price. Just like at Thanksgiving dinner, politics and religion should not be part of a business plan, nor should a business advertise their politics. It won't end well for them. While they certainly have the right, it probably isn't smart. If a business desires to make broad social statements, they need to understand the likely result. We don't want to be preached at when attending a game, buying a cake, watching an awards show or getting an oil change. If we agree with you, you don't need to convert us. If we disagree, do you want to alienate us?
