 Wikipedia – In January 2012, Amway contributed $500,000 to National Organization for Marriage, a political organization which opposes legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amway We at Rights Equal Rights feel 
 
 that it is important to support our friends and equally important to keep pressure on the mega- 
 
 donors to NOM and other likeminded organizations and individuals who so vigorously oppose 
 
 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) equality. Amway president Doug DeVos has apparently made no public statements about the issue one way or another.
– The gay rights battle is now running the retail gamut. Following the uproar over Chick-fil-A and same-sex marriage, gay rights advocates are pushing for a boycott of cleaning and beauty products company Amway and its affiliates, which include the Orlando Magic basketball team. The boycott call is in response to a $500,000 donation to battle gay marriage made by a foundation funded by Amway president Doug DeVos. The recipient of the donation, the National Organization for Marriage, "has been one of the most virulently anti-LGBT organizations in the country," says a statement launching the boycott by Rights Equal Rights. "A global boycott of Amway will let others know that there are consequences for giving massive amounts of money to take away the rights of a minority." Amway officials said the donation represents the personal beliefs of DeVos. As "private citizens, the DeVos family supports causes and organizations that advocate for policies aligned to their personal beliefs," Amway said in a statement to ABC News, adding that the family believes "one of the highest callings of any individual is to express their own personal beliefs as a participant in the democratic process." The Magic has reported no dip in ticket sales.
