Ford pulls LR/Jag GLBT support due to American Family threat

Companies do not cave in to these groups all the time, though

No, but most companies aren't on the brink of bankruptcy (though not as close as GM) and perhaps feeling a strong need to protect it's bread and butter product line (F-series trucks) that are mostly consumed in regions where an AFA boycott is most likely to have an affect.

Boycott has been a favored tool of protest, for a variety of reasons, for decades. I don't find the tool any more or less stupid (and I think it stupid in almost all cases) just because I disagree with the purpose.
