While wielding boycotts as political statements have had a history of effectiveness (look no further than the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott as a prime example), and with publications like the Chronicle and the LA Times posting state records databases showing just who donated for and against Prop. 8, some gay leaders have urged restraint when it comes to boycotting supporters of Prop 8. According to Lester Neblett, executive director of the Sacramento Gay & Lesbian Center, "the [gay] community has a lot of discretionary money available to them ... We're continuing to encourage people to support people who support us. That's been the word that we've tried to get out to the community all the time." Which: true. But Californians Against Hate's leader Fred Karger disagrees, ominously declaring, "If people stand in our way ...there'll be consequences – economic consequences." (Sacbee)
