So, it's ok for gays to boycott businesses if said businesses don't kiss their butts, but people opposed to a radical gay agenda aren't allowed to use their dollars to influence business?

I consider both to be knee-jerk reactions, and equally invalid.

Target doesn't support GLBKJGKLJDFKLDF(insert letters here) causes anymore than it supports Christian ones.

For years, Target had a good relationiship with the SA, an extremely decent charitable organization (among other things), but the SA's bell-ringer presence on Target property was a quiet exception to the policy. Once the policy, and especially SA's exception started getting more and more heat, it became apparent to Target that they had three choices, all of them losers:

1. Continue with the status quo and welcome the resulting lawsuits (which they'd lose-- disagree if you want to-- you know it to be true!)
2. Kick out the SA and piss off their conservative customers
3. Change their policy to allow every conceivable group (NAMBLA, PETA, etc.) to open up shop.

Which would you prefer?
