Proposition 8
from yhibiki

"Every state in the nation is going to have a protest next Saturday the 15th. I would implore you to get out and join -- I know it might be a little trek for some to the location in their state but I think it will be an incredible thing to be a part of. Simultaneously, all over the country our voice will SHOUT. Also, PLEASE spread this link around because getting this news out is a really important one. If you go, urge your friends to come along. Make it a party!"
I'm going to this, and it's going to be fucking amazing, protesting for something that really matters.

Proctor And Gamble
A major partner of P&G, "Cotton Buds," was one of the largest contributors to this travesty through its founder and owner, Dewitt Paul. Let P&G know that as long as they partner with this company, you will not purchase anything they manufacture.

Executives at the company that makes "Guitar Hero" apparently prefer to play with the heart strings of their customers, thanks to $5,000 in donations to Prop 8.

Gobbling up struggling little banks thanks to the mortgage crisis isn't enough for executives at BoA, they gobbled up your rights with $10,000 donated by executives. Tell them you want to make a withdrawal.

The maker of video cards apparently wants to paint a new picture of the world, one without gay rights, as evidenced by $15,000 in donations from their executives. Don't buy NVIDIA graphics cards, and don't buy any machines pre-built with them. Instead, let the companies using them know that you don't support people who support hate.

Avery likes labels. A lot. Not just mailing and shipping labels, but also "faggot" and "queer." At least their CFO, the guy in charge of spending their money, does. He gave $5,000 to take away your right to marry. Tell Avery that you have a label for them: "supporters of bigotry."

And I'm sad to report:
The Walt Disney Company
Executives at the Mouse spent $5,000 to make California the Unhappiest Place on Earth for the GLBT community. Let them know how sad this makes you, and that they made sure you will not have a magical day.

These are the ones that stood out to me. They don't want us, then they don't want our money, either, as far as I'm concerned. [/end quote]
Please boycott/send feedback/etc.! :o
ETA: Regarding Disney, I've looked through the original source and found that the VP Management Audit from Disney's finance department donated $5000. I'm not sure that warrants the inclusion of the entire company, but as this is a quote from the op and is included in imre_nico's post, from which I ganked this, I'm going to leave it up.
