Also, none of the homegrown LGBT activist groups currently active in the Caribbean signed on for this particular boycott. More than that, several prominent activist groups have said flat out that they realize these American groups are trying to help, but this boycott is NOT HELPING. They might as well have saved their breath for all the good it did, though. Heaven forbid the boycotters listen to the people who are actually living there. Caribbean-based activists were especially unimpressed by the inclusion in the boycott of a liquor company which they've put a lot of effort into cultivating. After a great deal of pressure, negotiation and dialogue had managed to get said company (I forget the name) to pull out of sponsorships of especially homophobic artists. So, you know, the local activists put a lot of time and effort into creating a relationship with this company, and then the clueless Yanks come along and decide to boycott. I mean, yes, of course there are circumstances where boycotting a company or even a whole damn country is appropriate, but these do not seem to be those circumstances. At all.
