Y'all...this isn't going to do anything. Take it from a veteran. The LGBT movement has a long and storied history of boycotts, but this is a classic example of a poorly-targeted boycott that will achieve less than nothing. Stoli, et.all are not owned by the Russian government; they have no part to play in the crafting of national policy. Boycotts only make sense when there is a direct link between the company and their profits going to fund terrible policies, like, say, Coors bankrolling the Heritage Foundation in the 1970s to advance anti-gay legislation. Boycotts should be wielded like a scalpel, not like a hammer. The only thing one can say in response to the blanket argument "We should not buy this thing because their country does something that is bad" is "YOU LIVE IN A CAPITALIST SOCIETY, YOUR TAXES GO TO KILL PEOPLE."
