Boycotts

   Boycotts against large companies are often a way that organizations and movements demonstrate their disapproval of those companies' policies. The most striking and recent is the latest boycott by the conservative group American Family Consortium. Several grocers are shaking their heads in disbelief. Says Joe Tonler of Food Lion, "It's not a policy - it's just business!" However, AFC members are sick of grocery stores selling to gay and lesbian folks and they have voiced their concerns with letters and protests. Since the grocers are still selling Ben and Jerry's to the queers they won't shop at any grocery store until the matter is resolved.
   Several members of the AFC are already showing signs of stress though. One man who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that his family has already been to each take out restaurant in town a dozen times, and the expense is causing some budget issues. "It's going to strain our finances, but we've pledged to continue this boycott until they stop selling to those homosexuals. I can't buy produce wondering if a queer has touched my carrot," he added.
   In response, several gay and lesbian groups have boycotted Virginia, Texas, Ohio, and about 35 other states, and will be moving to a tropical island in protest.
