TARGET Launches Line of Gay Pride T-Shirts – Seriously?

<snip>

The T-Shirts, ten in all are featured on Target’s website . Two feature a design by Gwen Stefani, which reads, “Love is love.” Each Pride T-shirt sells for $12.99, all of which will be donated to the Family Equality Council. Donation will capped at $120,000.

TARGET gave outright the GOP Political Pac which supported anti-gay Tom Emmer $150,000.00

<snip>

With that being said where does TARGET stand on Minnesota’s impending ballot measure that would constitutionally ban same-sex marriage in their corporate headquarters state?

A non-committal one as the Star Tribune reports:

Target, the $70 billion cheap chic retailer, hasn’t taken a public stand on the amendment. In a statement, the company notes its “long history” of supporting the LGBT community but acknowledges “there is a broad range of strongly held views on the [Minnesota] Marriage Amendment.” The company goes on to encourage employees to exercise their right to vote.

Just the fact that TARGET is selling these shirts online ONLY is akin to sitting on the back of the bus. They clearly want your money but they don’t want the bulk of thier in-store customers to see that they are selling these tee shirts and TARGET has never apologized for the Emmer donation and still donates to GOP Pacs and politicians.

<snip>

Don’t buy TARGET’s bullshit and don’t buy these ugly-assed tee shirts.
