A1EX saidIt's PR bullshit...hence my earlier post.
Nothing real... they're still going to continue donating to anti-gay politicians.

^Marry me. I'd ask William Safire but he's dead and wasn't really my type when he was breathing. Stimulating as he may have been, I'm fairly certain you'd be more fun after dinner, too.
BoostToChase saidActions speak louder than words. They'd do better donating the money they used to make that PSA on the Matthew Shepard foundation, or politicians fighting for LGBT rights.They cant.. it would like killing their first born.

Art_Deco saidI'm conflicted on this. The current Target senior corporate management appears to be homophobic.Those are very good points that people need to realize about most large corporations with homophobic/bigoted upper management. The suits may bitch about "homos" behind closed door - and they're free to do that - but they'll "act" in support of us as long as they realize doing the opposite would affect their pockets.
At the same time, I have personal gay friends who are career Target mid-level executives, out and covered by corporate plans that recognize gay domestic partnerships. When I rode my motorcycle in the Twin Cities Gay Pride Parade, the biggest corporate march unit was from Target, and the biggest display tent in Loring Park was also Target's. Guys here from Mpls can confirm that.
Target also donates a bicycle to our AIDS SMART Ride each year to raffle, and that bike is sitting right here now in this office, literally within arm's reach of me from this chair. And they set up tents on the ride itself, with gifts of food and other items, I don't know what they have planned for us this year in November, but they're participating again.
Of course that's the Target regional operations that donate to us, not their corporate HQs in Mpls that has created all this furor. So I dunno, and why I remain conflicted. One side of me wants to boycott them, and another side of me knows another side of Target. I'm on the edge with this.

And that's all that really matters anyway. As long as there's pressure to give us equal rights, they can bitch all they want...after giving us equal rights.

Bingo.
Now, about that upside down ride.....
MuscleComeBack saidNow, about that upside down ride.....That's one of those cases where I can say "take a number" and mean it quite literally. I'm booked solid all afternoon today, all day tomorrow, and all day Tuesday in that plane. Everyone at the airport wants to fly it.
