But, hey, I chalk that up to coincidence more than anything. That being said, the fact they support this doesn't matter to me. What just bugs me is when they try to create controversy over it, much like Chick-fil-a and J.C. Penny's did, just so they can generate more business. I occasionally shop at Penny's, but I'm broke so i hardly do. But with Chick-fil-a I'm not exactly breaking the bank so I'm still gonna go there more often, because I like their chicken, even if I hated the controversy stunt. Their chicken is just too damn good for me.
Long story short, what a company spends their money on doesn't matter to me, so long as it's not going to something killing people or enslaving people or something horrible like that then I say spend your money on whatever you want. I'm just there to get the product they personally provide. When they do with the money I gave them is their choice.
How many of the companies on this list were ever called "controversial" for supporting it?

Personally, I'm fine with anyone not shopping somewhere because they disagree with the political stance of a company, no matter what the stance is. If you're going to release that you are for or against gay marriage, you need to be prepared for outrage of one community or the other. If you can't handle it, don't say anything and allow it to just be your personal view. People need to realize that while you are free to say whatever you may please, you aren't free from the consequences of what you say-- especially if you're some sort of public figure.
