I support the seemingly-exaggerated response of Salesforce. In a risk of starting a religious flame war, I don't understand those of faith who discriminate against anyone else for any reason. Jesus called on His believers to love your neighbors as you love yourself. "There are no commandments greater than these" (from Mark 12)
Maybe sales force will also stop selling to customers in Russia, China, in Africa too to ensure principles aren't broken... And people aren't discriminated against.
Unfortunately I think he's grandstanding and this is simply symbolic. Which is fine, but he doesn't really mean it. It's a ploy.

If you want to enact change, you have to use whatever means is appropriate.
In a democratic country that is supposed to uphold human rights, public acts such as these can have a strong positive impact.
In an autocratic country such as china, the impact would be zero. Often, limited engagement can have a better impact.

I also don't understand why things like homosexuality are orders of magnitude more important than all the other sins named in the Bible -- and often far more clearly and unambiguously. You don't see Christians protesting outside credit card companies because they engage in usury, or against companies that make their employees work on Sundays, or for policies to help the poor, or anything else like that. Ultimately wh…
Or how about the most obvious one, killing ie. wars. Conventional American Christianity and the military are very closely tied; how that disconnect is ignored is beyond me.

Good point.
Even without cherry picking, in this instance, when the Bible/God/Jesus declares it the greatest commandment, you'd think they would pay a little more attention to it.

I don't understand how forcing people to do business, under penalty of law, is promoting "tolerance." I also don't understand creating these laws and then creating loopholes for pet causes. People are either free to associate and disassociate or they are not.
Because we as a society decided a while ago that if a business offers a service to "the public" that means everyone in the public. Not just the members of the public you happen to like.

Interestingly, it seems these things change over time. There was a time usury was seen as a scourge and homosexuality was not seen as something to counter, people were just left alone. I'm thinking eight to ten centuries ago. Usury was seen as pretty vile, but that seems to have changed over the past few centuries. Why? I have no idea, except societies change over time but don't know what brings about that change in sentiment... Some times forward sometimes regressive sentiments.
