I was talking to a group of people last night. Someone said "There is no point in boycotting. I mean, we only know about this because companies like Chik-Fil-A expressed their viewpoints. There are companies that we do not know about...."

I think that is a silly way of looking at it. Of course, we only know things once they are discovered. Things can be discovered by the person or company coming forward OR the person or company being called out. Regardless of how it happens, people have the right to respond however they choose in a nonharmful and legal manner.

It is silly to say "well, we only know because someone said something...what about those other companies...none of this matters." Uh...sure...I wonder whether you feel that way if it is a topic that particularly offends you or grates your nerves.
