My first gay-cott: don't buy Bolthouse Juice



Apparently Bolthouse Juice is pretty popular among our people (italics added especially for you, John) so hopefully the company and people behind the company will feel the effect of the gay community closing their wallets and not buying their delicious juices (no matter how refreshing their latest blend of freshly pressed pomegranate and acaĆ­ might look).

The carrot farmer behind the juices just donated $100,000 to support the campaign to end same-sex marriage in California. Enough said?

From the news:
The National Organization for Marriage California donated $700,000 to the campaign. One of the organization’s largest financial contributors includes Bolthouse, who declined to comment about his donation Tuesday. The measure’s proponents said the campaign to promote the initiative may exceed $30 million. Supporters have spent about $1.8 million to collect signatures and publicize the initiative, according to campaign filings. Other supporters include San Diego developer Terry Caster ($172,000); hotel developer Manchester Financial Group of San Diego ($125,000); Fieldstead and Co. of Irvine ($400,000) and Knights of Columbus Headquarters in Connecticut ($250,000).
