I'm not a big fan of that idea, actually. It seems that it will hurt our friends as much (or more) than it will hurt our enemies. I'm already carefully targeting my spending to non-hater businesses. So, the only ones I could "boycott" are companies that have been on our side -- or at least neutral. I don't WANT to hurt my friends and potential allies.
I pretty much agree with you; I just put this out here since it seems a lot of people have already embraced it. In my case I work for a company that prides itself on having a diverse make up and has structured its work and charitable activities along those lines. I am active in a company wide LGBT business resource group and I have also been encouraged by my director to participate in my state bar's Gay Equality section. I can't see how my calling in would in any way be a viable mode of making the intended statement.
