Target Blocks Group's Emails Complaining of Gay Pride Shirts

Giant retailer Target has blocked emails from the conservative American Family Association after its supporters began urging the company to pull its promotion of homosexuality.

"I hope you will not let Target silence your voice. I encourage you to call their corporate office and share your personal thoughts," the family group told supporters.

Target has partnered with Family Equality Council and is currently supporting the LGBT group with 100 percent of the proceeds it receives through its collection of gay pride T-shirts (up to a maximum donation of $120,000).

When Target began selling the pro-gay shirts late May, the American Family Association sent out an alert to supporters, asking them to let Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel "know that a majority of Americans oppose same-sex marriage and are able to use their pocketbooks to voice their opposition to companies that support it."

In a recent update, AFA stated, "Target is blocking emails from the AFA Action Alert system." The family group is asking supporters to contact the retailer through other means.

I can honestly say that I have never purchased any item from Target. I think I have been inside the stores two or three times total.

I would like to see Target and JCP get into a fatal war of attrition with one another.

May God please forgive the sick individuals who are responsible for Target’s decision.

I sent an email to JC Penney (I called them ‘Gay C. Penney’ in the email) on Friday to remove me from their catalog list as I got their current catalog full of gay men and don’t want it in my mail box or my house.

I got a return email the next day that they would remove my name.

I don’t shop at Target but now I won’t for a reason.

We need to borrow a page from the militant faggots and start picketing Target and JC Penney Stores all over CA and the US. Let’s show ‘em.

I think e-mailing them is a waste of time. I just don’t shop at Target ... I’m sure the queers will take up the slack.

You know, when you think about it, the queers are the biggest bullies to ever come down the pike and they’re the babies who are always whining about bullies. They are always bullying retailers and other businesses. Damn sex freaks.

“We need to borrow a page from the militant faggots and start picketing Target and JC Penney Stores all over CA and the US. Let’s show ‘em.”

Or maybe we should get real and show pictures of what they do, like the graphic abortion pictures. It’s time to take the gloves off- “you shall know the truth....” It’s time to get rid of the euphemism of “gay” and expose the perversion.

It’s WalMart with paint.
