Why boycotting sometimes backfires

Marriott is one of the main commercial accounts for a gay owned business.The owners of this business are very-VERY open and wer major supporters of the no on 8 campaign-should they turn down future contracts with Marriott?Or should they prove to be so great at what they do that they earn the support of the Marriott head honchos?
One of the posters here is an executive with Marriott-they know about his partner and his lifestyle.He has proven to be a major asset to Marriott.

So I state again-Fabulousness is the key.If you are open and honest about your stuff nobody will give a rats behind IF you are better at what you do than Joe and Shirley Trailerpark(of the Omaha Trailerparks )
It is easy for them to see us as the "other"but when the "other' is their child,coworker,trusted and valued employee or good friend then we stop being e bogie man and become real people in their eyes.
