Target's promise to 'gay' community
A pro-family organization is drawing attention to Target for donating its sales in support of "gay marriage" laws.
Target issued a statement on its website this week, saying it will donate 100 percent of proceeds from "pride" T-shirts bought online in June to Family Equality Council. That drew the attention of Randy Sharp, special projects director at the American Family Association (AFA).
"[Family Equality Council] advances homosexual marriage in the United States and pushes for federal law to recognize same-sex marriage," he explains. "Target has basically decided that they're going to endorse this organization, that they're going to endorse gay marriage laws in the United States, and they're going to back it up with $120,000 cash."
Sharp recognizes that a few corporations in America are backing same-sex marriage, but notes this is the first time that AFA has seen Target get involved. But the retailer's promise to homosexuals is blatantly posted on its webpage.
"We know for a fact that Target is a very gay-friendly company. You may remember a couple of years ago, when Target came under heat from homosexual activists for donating to a pro-family candidate for United States Congress," the special projects director recalls. "And I think what Target has done is they've folded that tent and they've completely caved in to the homosexual agenda."
So, AFA is urging consumers to contact the Target corporate office, specifically Chairman Gregg Steinhafel, and let them know that as long as the retailer donates cash to promote something in which they do not believe, they will shop elsewhere.

"I believe that's going to send a strong message to the company that they should remain neutral in this culture war," Sharp offers. "What Target needs to do is do what they do -- and that is sell good, quality products at a low price to help families live a better life."

I stopped shopping at target when they ran off the Salvation Army Santa.
When are these companies stop hiring leftwing ideologue to run their businesses.
70% of the country consider themselves Christian and conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1, so why would a company put politics over profits and insult the majority of their customers?
It don’t make sense.
I'm sorry, but where do you people get your "facts"? 70% of the country considers itself Christian? Where does that number come from? Conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1? Again, says who? Christians need to spend more time on their knees and TRULY understanding their Bibles instead of hitting people over the head with them. Know what you believe and why, folks. And by the way, it's "It doesn't make sense", not "it don't make sense". Grammar.
Go target! don't listen to the conservative bullies! they are doing the right thing and these "family values" organizations are nothing but racist, intolerant pigs who deserve nothing but being left in antiquity.
There goes that term again "homosexual agenda." So Target has caved in to the "homo- agenda" huh? I'm a homosexual, and you're right, I DO have an agenda. I want to work hard to make a living doing something I enjoy without harassment and discrimination, I want to marry the person I love and raise a beautiful family in a world where my kids can see their dreams come true and be treated with love and respect. Oh and I am a Christian who believes in an all-loving God full of grace who is my Lord and Savior. But you're right, supporting our "homosexual agenda" is insulting the majority of America who apparently are just dream-crushing hypocrites who use their Bible (interpreted incorrectly)as a weapon against a crippled minority who just want to be treated fairly. I'm going to go shop Target.com for my straight best-friends baby shower gifts!!!
I love how its ok for you to boycott a company because they support equality but its wrong for liberals to boycott chic-fil-a because they oppose it. Hypocrites!
