In general, I'm very much in agreement. Part of the basic business of citizenship is respectful disagreement, and I don't vet the politics of people and companies I do business with.
What makes this different, for me, is the extremity of the issue, coupled with the high dollar amount, which in my tax bracket goes well beyond incidental support of a political candidate or cause. I can't conscionably purchase from them when I know that some of the profits of that transaction help fund an anti-civil rights campaign. At that point, it becomes less like the everyday disagreements that are part of a healthy public sphere, and more like a question of ethical investing.
Others will disagree, of course, and that's fine.
actually it goes further then that considering the fundemental backround of the owners.
i also work in an industry that has a form reverse discrimination in certain areas of benefits. but in the long run i just let it ride. but it is annoying.
it really isn't something that should be discussed in this, a photographic forum
