Anti-gay companies include:

• Salvation Army 
• Hobby Lobby 
• Forever 21
• Urban Outfitters (Along with racism and anti-feminism.)
• Boy Scouts America

Gay-friendly companies include:

• Starbucks 
• Wal-mart
• Google
• General Mills cereal
• American Express
• Mariott Hotels

SO REMEMBER. Get some Starbucks coffee, go on Google to shop at Wal-mart.com with your American Express card while eating a bowl of General Mills cereal and enjoy your stay at our fine Mariott Hotels.

Also shop at target, they dropped ties with transphobic and homophobic companies and are one of the most inclusive employers in the country

Just to clarify…Girl Scouts is completely separate from Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts is very gay & trans friendly and is overall a great organization that empowers little girls and promotes community involvement and kindness so go out and buy as many girls scout cookies as you can

How are we defning gay-friendly companies here? Are they friendly to gay people trying to make a living wage or do they pay their workers below the $15hr that labor groups are advocating for? Do they actually have protections for LGBT+ employees or have they just done a pro-gay ad? 

It’s important to look at these things with a critical eye, to see whether companies are actually willing to back up a progressive stance or whether they’re just interested in marketing to a progressive demographic. I mean, us queers have money to spend too.

Also, I’m deeply uncomfortable with that last line telling you to what to buy as if consuming all those products constitutes some kind of political action. Even if those companies are great (which I doubt, especially in the case of Wal-Mart), making consumer choices isn’t actually activism, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell you something.
