To say that you don't want to support a group that doesn't support your lifestyle choices is a very obvious sign of intolerance and bigotry.  I'm not even going to candy coat it for you.  I don't know why you're so intolerant of people who make different choices than yourself.

Maybe I wasn't quite clear. I'll attempt to illustrate it a little better for you.

I have gay family members. While I don't "enjoy" the life they lead, I still care for them the same as any other family member. I'll defend them the same as any other family member.

However, there are certain fundamental things about said practices that I do not believe are natural, and as such I don't believe that certain long-standing definitions that are held by a vast majority of the world's population should be changed willy-nilly because a relative handful say so.

So, if I choose not to support a company because they support groups that go against my beliefs in life, that's my personal right... my right to choose who I do and don't patronize with my hard-earned cash.

Call me whatver makes you feel better, but you have no right to tell me that I can't choose. Just as I would never tell anyone who is gay or lesbian who they can or can't be with or what they can or can't do with their life, I don't see what gives you the right to tell me I can't choose not to support Ford.
