I am not talking about personally. I asked about group dynamics of whether there would even be an appreciation day and the ACLU involved.
As for personally:
I still believe that almost everyone has a viewpoint that they absolutely cannot and will not tolerate, freedom of speech be damned, and if a person or company expouses such a viewpoint they would have no problem boycotting that company and having the company banned from the vicinity if possible.

Thanks for reminding me about the ACLU.
