Mystified by being boycotted

"We gave $20,000 for Yes on Proposition 8," he says.
And once that was known, retaliation was swift. "We soon started getting very nasty e-mails and letters and phone calls by the hundreds," he says.
Leatherby says he was mystified, because the Creamery had always enjoyed good relations with the gay and lesbian community. (link)

He was mystified? Really? Let's see, he pretented to be a friend of the gay community then contributed $20,000 to hurt us. $20,000 - from a business that eagerly went after gay business - was spent to hurt gay people.

Folks, if you give $20K to the Klan and get protested by the black community, would you be suprised? Remember the Klan hides behind religous freedom, or tries to. Exercise your freedom of religion, but don't be suprised if we exercise our right to free speech and our right to spend money elsewhere. It's not like the people who donated to Yes on 8 are being slandered or libeled - it is public record that they gave money to a group that used it to do great harm to an entire class of people. If you go out of your way to hurt us don't expect us to sit idly by.

Simply put folks: we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore.

Comment all you want, but if I don't like it I'll delete it. I am not trying to make some sort of free speech blog here, nor do I declare being unbiased. I don't care if I'm right or wrong, so if you don't agree with me don't expect your comment to last very long.
