To a corporation taxes and business laws have much more of an impact on them than gay marriage and other social issues. Whether or not their gay employees can get married have nothing to do with their revenue or tax liability.

Target and Disney have chosen to offer the same benefits to all employees regardless of sexual orientation. That's what they should be doing. It would be nice if candidates who were supporting gay rights were also supporting business practices that the major corporations are after but for now it seems that 'business friendly' candidates are also the gay-unfriendly ones. Perhaps this is what we (collective we) should focus on changing. Personal boycotts aren't going to change anything and short of growing your own food (better get those seeds from a 'clean' organization) and making your own clothes (better make sure the fabric, and machinery is from a 'clean' organization) you're always going to be giving money to someone who supports something you disagree with.
