Vodka Sales Stop due to Russia's Views

I have heard that some people in the Gay/Lesbian community are boycotting the Russian Vodka company Stolichnaya, better known as Stoli. The only reason these boycotters have is that Russia (the country) has decided to go anti-gay and discriminate and that Russia has "no laws protecting against discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity" (source: Wikipedia).

Well, after some research, I've discovered that the Americans who are boycotting Stoli are making a bad decision. Why? Because the Stoli sold in America is made in America, and has no connections to Russia. So by not selling the vodka, the bar in Chicago is actually just losing money, losing customers, and causing a ruckus even though it is no-big-deal.

What do you think? Would you boycott a brand just because the original company's country has laws that you disagree with?
