It's not my employer's place to tell me what social causes to support or what social causes I should be seen supporting.
An employer trying to capitalize on my personal identity - including my social views - is bull####.

I think you misunderstand. In cases like this, employees aren't being forced to support a social cause. That's impossible (employers can't change the way you think). Rather, employees are being required to demonstrate their employer's support of a social cause. I see little difference in your employer requiring employees to demonstrate their employer's dedication to the environment, or to customer service, or to Canada Day, etc.
