FUCK TARGET

SuperFemme · 08-02-2010, 06:50 PM

Is this like one person in Target doing this?

Because the Target here gives to Queer stuff and shows up for Pride.

Does the $150,000 reckless donation undo the good deeds toward the Queer community?

I'd like to know how much to date Target HAS donated to local Queer Org.'s and Prides in order to make a more informed decision.

One hand giveth, the other taketh away. Either way they aren't going to support those who support us and our rights. They as a corporation have made their decision, I will not support that.

And any entity even remotely tied to backing the racism in Arizona is worth a boycott, in my opinion.

they are standing by their asshatishness.

fuckers.

An interesting perspective on this issue... is the CEO of Target being hurt, or is it the employees of Target being hurt?

The employees of Target will likely be hurt, regardless. The CEO of Target said that he doesn't care about GLBT rights as long as he gets his minimum wage reduction. If the candidate they're supporting wins, Target employees (and millions of other people) will be seriously hurt.

Sexual goals aside (lmao), I am not shopping there anymore. And I really liked Target before, but this is just wrong. *sigh*

I really don't think it matters, if the employees agree with the owner and the Corporation, then they can share the blame. The employees who feel it is wrong, can tell the owner that they aren't supporting them, or be sheep. I will not be giving my money to that company to use against me and mine. That is my moral stance. I can live with it.

Just heard the other night that the LGBT Committee at Target are not happy right now. I have friends on the committee here in Mpls, MN and I know that they will continue to voice their concerns with the company.
