I suspect you're right. Target makes a big show of community concern, but the community in question is not the one to which I belong.

I agree. I think there's no doubt which community Target chose to support -- to their everlasting shame. For example:

ACTION ALERTS

1. www.turnyourbackonbush.org

2. Boycott Giant Food. (Updated: And Safeway too!) They are letting Salvation Army ring their bells and collect money in their red kettles and have yet to address the Salvation Army's discriminatory policies towards the GLBT Community. Doesn't Giant Food ~AND~ Safeway have a non-discriminatory workplace policies that this violates the rights of any of their GLBT employees? Hello...? All it takes is just one employee to sue!

Please shop at stores that do not support the Salvation Army and in turn, violates the rights of their employees.

3. Shop at TARGET! KUDOS to Target for taking a stand against the Salvation Army by refusing them permission to ring their bells and take your money which advances the discrimination against GLBT people.

Thanks for the info. Actually, I quit buying Levi's about 15 years ago, when they canned the Scouts. I quit buying at Best Buy because of their shoddy business practices, I didn't like Target anyway, and Home Depot is on the list now. I prefer Lowe's, but have stopped by Home Depot before. Won't anymore.
