UPS Yanks Funding From Boy Scouts - Ends grants over BSA's discrimination against gays

seems big business is seeing which way the wind blows and the electorate, or potential and present customers, never a mention till this election for them.
see America change is all over the place we just need a broader panoramic view and not just restricted to our individual change barometer.
The philanthropic arm of shipping giant UPS said it will no longer give money to the Boy Scouts of America as long as the group discriminates against gays, joining Intel as the second major corporation to recently strip funding from the scouts. The UPS Foundation made the change after an online petition protesting its annual grants to the Boy Scouts attracted more than 80,000 signatures. The UPS Foundation gave more than $85,000 to the Boy Scouts in 2011, according to its federal tax return.
  A UPS spokeswoman said grant recipients will have to adhere to the same standards UPS does by not discriminating against anyone based on race, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
intolerance is no longer the hate de jour.
