Hm. If this were a case of charitable donations, I would feel that the owner of Curves has the right to make whatever charitable donations he chooses, whether or not I agree with the aims of the organizations receiving the money.
If the owner is making significant contributions to political action committees/organizations, then I would be more inclined to not give him my business, if I disagree with the political aim he supports. Political issues can become laws, and I prefer to avoid even indirectly giving financial support to a cause that I think would be bad legislation.
I think I like the people who are increasing their financial support to opposing organizations. That sounds to me like a wholly sensible and mature thing to do, rather than boycotting. Why drive a good product out of the marketplace?
