I would participate in a boycott if the reasoning behind it was sound and of social value.

A & F had t-shirts that had "disparaging" comments of girls. These shirts perpetuated the "image" that girls are not worthy.

The Gap- sweatshops that employ "slave" labour and exploit children.

But to boycott Disney because a group of people don't agree with the inclusion of people exercising their civil rights. I don't think so...........I am not going to support their "homophobic" agenda.

There has to be at least a socially redeaming value to all of society if I participate in a boycott. Not just a select few..............

Well said. I won't step foot in A&F, but it's not a boycott. I'm just voting with my wallet. Clearly they are devastated. ;)
