It's not a double standard if a corporation has a history of discriminating practices. Take Denny's a few years back on it's refusal to serve black people or promote black workers in some of their restaurants. That was a clear case of a need for boycotting. It's just like back in the days of segregation.

The issue with Ford and it's refusal to serve the Gay community due to pressure from a conservative group doesn't compare to blatant racist practices.
