People and corporations are often judged by the company they keep, particularly true in the fashion industry. Does this sometimes get out of hand? Yes, but this is not one of those cases. Opting not to hold your event in a venue financed or supported by someone whose beliefs you do not share is a longstanding freedom of expression.

Like it or not, money talks in capitalism. If you are so outraged, use your financial voice to support more events aligned with your beliefs in The Shed, refuse to do business with those who refuse to hold events at The Shed, or hire your own merry band of protestors to picket the parties who so aggrieve you.

Plus, the money may actually be used against you. If I eat at a restaurant that gives money to do away with gay marriage, I’m literally helping them take away my rights. It’s not for “political reasons” in this example, it’s personal.
