I like that delineation of types of boycotting. I was raised on the second "avoid as much as possible" style. My parents can't stand how Wal-mart treats their labor and what they do to small towns so we didn't shop at wally world if avoidable at all. When I first moved to Alaska and had not yet discovered that Freddy's had everything in the world (because grocery stores in Kansas weren't like that) and Target hadn't been opened I went to Wal-mart for an ironing board but not since. But as Mike said, I have that ecnomic choice. And I make it. Basically a thousand small choices do more good than that guy who screams at the top of his lungs.

I am on the board of a non-profit and I've convinced them to move our website domain away from GoDaddy because I hate their misogynistic advertisments and their stand on SOPA. There are a thousand other little things too I suppose.

So I will go and see it, and thank you all for making me feel better about it. And I'll still make an LGBTQ friendly charity donation.

And perhaps more importantly for the cause, the library is hosting an LGBTQ teen club (easier for some kids to come to than the one at their school) and there is a guy who is going from library location to location blasting and threatening staff members with profanity about the club (apparently we're trying to convert kids to be gay, sigh). He's also been on our facebook page, but we deleted it. He's one more tirade away from a year ban, and we're ready for him. In my opinion, offering a safe space for the next generation and protecting them from idiots as much as possible is more important than which movie I see.
