Touche. Yeah, you're right. I was more trying to say (in my ire) that we congratulate people for being civilly disobedient when they disagree with laws in ways we like. That judge thought the constitution was wrong, various mayors think state bans on gay marriage are wrong. They're all standing up for something they believe in (though of course the mayors' position is more constitutionally defensible - as well as more ethical in my opinion).
We call people/companies brave and responsible when they promote causes we support, but call for boycotting them and basically label them crazy religious freaks if we disagree. And by "we" I don't just mean liberals/feminists/whatever, but pretty much everyone.
