The CEO at Target thought it was in his company's interest to donate $150,000 to MN Forward, an organization that supports Tom Emmer a Republican Candidate for governor of Minnesota. Emmer is anti-gay and is supported by folks who advocate violence against the lgbt community. Now you got some pissed off gay folks! I just shopped there like a week ago, and do most of my holiday shopping there...but no more. There is debate about the effectiveness of boycotts. I would hate not shopping there, but damn don't act like you respect your gay employees and customers then pull some sh*t like this. So until CEO Gregg Steinhafel makes amends to our community I guess I need to spend my money somewhere else. Target, your stuff is cute, but not worth disrespecting myself.
