Adding Tractor Supply Company to my blacklist. They don’t deserve my business until they reverse these white nationalist and homophobic policies. I’m not in a rural area, but I do have fish tanks and TSC was reliably a great place to get gear. Not anymore.
I wrote to the Tractor Supply board today. Here is what I sent. Even if you've only ever bought one thing there, I encourage you to write, as a customer.

Unfortunately, this is barely going to hurt them. They will continue to do well in rural areas where the choice for animal feed is them or an hour plus drive...regardless of *anything* they do politically.

Aye. It is purely a moral stance. Even if every one of my friends blacklists them they wound see it on a single weeks financials. But I gotta do something. I can’t just sit and let another company hate the community I care about.

Oh, I know. I'm not in a position to join you as I don't think I've needed to buy from them in my life. What I'm saying is they do have a bit of a monopoly in some areas and I feel for the people who disagree with them and still have to use them.

Yup. I hear that. I have no idea how they do it knowing the only store in Town is also going out of its way to hurt you. I have no idea how they do that.

You find your own ways to fight back. These companies do get pressure from both sides, but I don't understand why they are caving to the so-called conservatives when those people don't always have a choice either...
