People with an unshakable loyalty to these kinds of things are blind to critisism, and common sense.

Sexual-orientation loyalty? Eh?
Anyways I find nothing wrong with loyalty, but loyalty is earned. If a company is good to you, there is no reason not to have company loyalty. As a citizen of the US, I do have national loyalty and I would never spy or do actions which would bring the nation harm.
There is a big difference between being loyal to your brand of toothpaste or car manufacturer and being loyal to the institutions that are part of your life and well being.
