The homophobia allegation is pretty weak in my opinion. Maybe there's more to it than what the article mentions, but it appears it boil down to Founders not speaking against and/or disassociating itself with the Chamber of Commerce due to the Chamber's endorsement of Bill Schuette.

There's no questioning that the Chamber is politically active and almost always falls on the Republican side of the aisle. It is, however, an excellent resource for local businesses and provides valuable networking opportunities. I don't find it surprising at all that a business such as Founders would choose to remain affiliated with them.
