Georgia Governor Nathan Deal vetoed the religious freedom bill and many assume that this was as much as result of the threatened boycott from companies and organizations that transact business in George as it may have been from Governor Deal’s personal preference.

It was capitalism and big business then that successfully fought to uphold the rights of the LGBT alliance.  This is a bit of irony for those who think that capitalism is inherently evil and only explains why we should boycott Chick Filet.  (That boycott by the way failed hugely in the face of the counter buycott.)

It should remind us that wealth and economic power is far more intellectually diverse than the class warriors would have us believe.
