This kind of boycott won't help actual gay people in the long term. Probably not even in the medium term. It's pretty obvious that what is happening is that (mostly) not-gay people are using gays and gay rights to stick it (ha) to other unrelated people and groups they don't like (American social conservatives apparently). In their heart of heart's they really don't give a flying fuck about gay's or gay issues. Their actual focus is on other people and issues.
In reality when the backlash comes, as a result of actions like those of Chicago's and Boston's mayors, gay people will be in a worse position than they were before their "cause" become the cause du jour . As usual Mark Steyn has deconstructed this issue perfectly here:

Personally I have no issue with homosexuals, and am generally very tolerant, but even I can see that the left wing proponents have become outright fascists with respect to this issue.
