I was made aware of a letter that has been sent to businesses that supported us during our Pride Festival condemning them for supporting the LGBT community and suggesting they will boycott those businesses. A copy of the letter is posted on Mt. Blogmore as well as a lot of great commentary.
While we don't take this letter seriously, we do think it would be a great idea if people wrote letters thanking those businesses for supporting us. It would be good to make a point of supporting those businesses as well. Why not deliver the letters in person when you patronize them. We did send thank you notes to all of them immediately after the Festival. A complete list of those businesses is at the Pride site.
When you think about it, this may be a good thing. If the Right wingers do boycott those businesses, the businesses will become bigot free zones and much more pleasant for all of us to patronize.

Yesterday my spouse and I did exactly that at Bully Blends and Tally's. We also bought stuff. :-)
It's always so very important to support those who support us. Do let them know when you do so, who you are and thank them. That personal touch is important. Keep up the great work!
