Oh noes! I am conflicted!

elfsHate group The American Family Association has announced that it is calling for a boycott of L. L. Bean because the clothing manufacturer has decided to refer to "the Holidays" rather than "Christmas" in its 2010 catalog and related literature.
But the gays also want a boycott of LL Bean because one of its major shareholders, Linda Bean, uses her wealth to fund The Rushdoony-informed Constitution Party, a Christianist organization dedicated to the repeal of the Voting rights act and a return of American Law to Biblical Values.
Now, I'm conflicted, because in my darkest heart I like LL Bean stuff. And I was saddened when I decided I could no longer support LL Bean and its business. But now that they've declared War on Christmas, and the AFA is opposed to them, is it okay if I just buy a few things?
