US pastor calls for boycott of Microsoft, HP
worker201:
This is the wrong reason to boycott Microsoft. On this issue (and this issue alone) I am on Microsoft's side. And they probably don't appreciate it.

Whose country? That's right, OUR country. You and I and Bill have to share. Which means that you don't get what you want when you want it. I am sick of these fucking moralizing assheads who think their values are more important than anyone else's.

I don't get why MS/any company would voice their opinions on these things... Who the hell cares what MICROSOFT thinks? Who the hell is "Microsoft"? What matters is the opinions of the people, in MS and everywhere else.
Microsoft probably are paying the wages of at least one anti-gay-rights fucktard anyhow. "Microsoft supports this bill" I think means "Top-MS managers support this bill", which wouldn't be a huge amount of supporters.
Or maybe in America they divide votes out to each company, that would explain alot.
worker201:
Well, no politician can ever support or boycott anything, because they would lose voters. But corporations can kinda do what they want. Microsoft, HP, Nike, and Boeing probably think (correctly) that their support of this bill won't affect their sales all that much at all, so why not do the right thing? Somebody's got to support this bill. The companies listed probably have an open hiring policy anyway, which means that they support gay civil rights implicitly. No harm in them supporting it explicitly.
On the other hand, the comment about the votes being handed out to corporations is so true it isn't even funny.
