Content: Boycott against a company – Coors Brewing Company and LGBT Rights
In hiring people, Coors Brewing Company discriminated against persons from the LGBT community. In 1973, labor unions organized a boycott to protest Coors antagonistic practices. The boycott was joined by African Americans, Latinos, and the LGBT community. Finally, 14 years later the AFL-CIO and Coors came to an agreement in 1987, ending the official union boycott. But Coors continued to carry a bad name in certain communities. Boycott against a company – Chick-fil-A
In 2012 the CEO of the restaurant Chick-fil-A publically blamed the country’s woes on accepting gay marriage and continued donating money to anti-LGBT groups. Many Christians kept dining at this restaurant chain and others boycotted Chick-fil-A. The company finally gave into pressure in 2019 to stop donating to companies that supported anti-LGBT talk and turn over more of their donations to promoting youth education, combating youth homelessness, and fighting hunger. Boycott against a State law – Religious Discrimination against Same-Sex Couples
The state legislature of Indiana passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) in 2015 allowing state businesses to refuse service to same-sex couples based on religious grounds. The business community strongly and swiftly reacted against this law. The state legislature reversed course and modified the law a week later.
