I think the boycott is because it's highly likely they didn't just meet with him; it's likely they also gave his campaign money (or at the very least, introduced him to other people with deep pockets). They've supported Republican politicians with anti-gay platforms before; I think they just got a bit too obvious about it. They are rich white guys before anything else, and so it's not surprising they are looking to their bank accounts above the rights of the LGBT community, but if they're making money off their connection to the very same LGBT community, they can't act shocked and stunned when said community chooses to withhold its consumer dollars from them for something like this.
