- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination .
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Yes, Bill comparing Gays to Al-Qaida is disgusting!
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- Boycott Arizona because of their uncivilized anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform.
- NEW: Boycott "Target" and "Best Buy" for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.
Iowa senator: Boycott anti-gay radio advertisers
by Jason Clayworth / Sept 1, 2010 / Des Moines Register
An Iowa senator is organizing a boycott of businesses that advertise during WHO-AM talk radio's Jan Mickelson program.
His first target: Toyota of Des Moines even though he drives a vehicle purchased from the dealership.
"It's the last one I'm ever going to own, that's for sure," said Sen. Matt McCoy, a Democrat from Des Moines.
Mickelson is a conservative host who said during a show broadcast from the Iowa State Fair last month that some AIDS education efforts destigmatize the "stupid behavior" of homosexuality. He likened AIDS to lung disease, cirrhosis of the liver and heart disease.
The station later ran a clarification noting that Mickelson is entitled to his opinions but that the statements confused medical fact and contained factual errors in the spread of the disease.
McCoy, who is gay, urged friends on his Facebook page to stop buying from the dealership. He said there are plans to launch a website to encourage boycotts of other businesses that sponsor Mickelson or other programs that speak inaccurately or unfairly about gay and lesbians.
Joel McCrea, the vice president/market manager for the station, said he wasn't aware of a campaign to boycott advertisers of Mickelson's program. Advertisers have not withdrawn advertising from the program, he said, declining to comment further.
The general manager for Toyota of Des Moines was not available for comment Wednesday. But Ron Short, the dealership's service manager, said he was not aware of McCoy's efforts. The car dealer currently has no plans to pull advertising during Mickelson's program, Short said.
"No matter who you associate with, there's going to be people that are with or against you," Short said. "To focus it against Jan or anyone else I don't think would be fair."
One Iowa, Iowa's largest civil rights group for gay and lesbians, has not taken a stand on the issue even though the group called for WHO to correct Mickelson's statements. Justin Uebelhor, a spokesman for the group, said the boycott is an option but not a step the group has agreed to take at this time.
McCoy, a board member of One Iowa, said he wants businesses to understand the messages they directly or indirectly support through their advertising dollars.
"I want to get into their pocketbook because it's the only thing they understand," said McCoy.
Roughly 1.1 million Americans today live with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Of the more than 1,900 people in Iowa diagnosed with AIDS through 2008, almost 60 percent were men who contacted the disease through same-sex encounters while almost 16 percent was through heterosexual sex, according to information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."

Remember: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations and to Proposition 8 (California) to prevent gay marriage. The Formal Boycott began this past weekend. I stopped shopping these stores - even though I want a new washer/dryer and new clothes for the Fall. I would not purchase "Blood Diamonds," nor should a person / organization be contributing funds to both Hitler / Nazi's and the Jews at the same time! Obviously giving money to the Jews and not Hitler/Nazi's is the right thing to do. Hence, these companies violated my trust and well-being. They gave money to my enemy who would terminate me from my job, deny me housing and send me to a Internment camp. Therefore, goodbye Target and Best Buy! The CEO's of these companies have been insensitive to our reaction and do not even comprehend their actions! What takes so long to "fire" these Neanderthals?
