Great article about how hard it is for those idiots opposed to transgender rights to get their hate on! Look what they miss out on if they decide to boycott trans-friendly businesses!!

....In fact, if you oppose transgender rights, you shouldnt even be spreading AFAs petition using their recommended #BoycottTarget hashtag because Facebook, Twitter, and Google all aced the CEI. Every minute spent on those social media giants helps them promote LGBT equality, including the T.

Good luck flying anywhere without putting money in the coffers of companies that proudly endorse LGBT rights. American, United, Southwest, JetBlue, and Alaska Airlines all earned top marks, as did Boeing.

Without a car, you will have to wear non-Nike shoes to walk to your local ATM, where you should withdraw all of your money because most major banksincluding Chase, Bank of America, Citi, and Wells Fargohave a 100 on the CEI. Get used to paying with cash because you will have to shred your credit cards. Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover all have a perfect rating, too.
The only problem: Your options for offloading that cash are fairly limited if you dont want any of it to go toward a world in which transgender people can pee in peace. Build your own furniture because IKEAs a no-go but do not get the tools for it at Home Depot. You cant buy clothes at JCPenney, Sears, Nordstrom or, of course, Target, nor can you purchase food sold by General Mills, Kellogg, Kraft or Kroger....
