Ms. Sarandon and her...well they aren't married..so I guess you can call him her Shack Up Honey or Significant other Tim Robbins have been whining all over about people not listening to them.
When you use your celebrity to voice an opinion that is in the minority (and they are) and your celebrity is dependant on the public liking you as a person and your image. You risk loosing that celebrity. No one owes Ms. Sarandon or Mr. Robbins a living, no one HAS to buy tickets to their movies. The American Public is under no compulsion to spend money to keep them comfortable. The US governmentr isn't responsible for the backlash these two feel. Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins are responsible. They are the ones who chose to make public their private opinions.
The United Way on the other hand cannot stand to take another public relations hit. They are already deep in the hole due to the scandals and misappropriation of funds in the last few years, so they decided to cut their losses because they cannot afford the negative impact Ms. Sarandon would have on their PR. That is how the game is played.
Just my thoughts ont he issue. Hope they are what you were looking for Mark.
