Target Openly Supports Gay Marriage in Legal Brief [I will go JC Penney on them]

Time.com ^ | 8/6/14 | Denver Nicks

[SoFloFreeper]

The major retailer has joined a group of companies in filing an amicus brief in support of gay marriage

[lastchance]

Why should it make any difference to them? The only reason I can think besides wanting to kiss pervert butt and avoid boycotts is to hoist some employees onto their “spouses” insurance should same sex marriage become legal in Florida and other states.

Thanks for the info.

VP for the Promotion of Perversion. She will probably use this as the highlight of her resume.

Never did like Target - or Tar-jay as they used to pronounce it on CNBC to give it a high-class, French cache - always seemed plastic and sterile to me.......

Target Executive Vice President Jodee Kozlak

"Jodee" with two "e"s endorses homosexual "marriage".

I'm "appalled" with two "p"s and two "l"s.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Quit going to Target years ago when they kicked the Salvation Army out.

“JC Penny has actually changed back to being family-friendly.”

Too late...kind of like a guy telling me he’s an ex-gay, but still would like to spend some time ‘alone’ with me.

[BobL]

So where’s Walmart on this junk?

They don’t seem to be putting it front and center, but I suspect that they’re not so comfortable looking at a family that has two parents of different genders either.

Why do corporations want to have an opinion on politics?

Have they all been blackmailed by the left?</i>

Short answer: YES.

They are convinced of the inevitability of progressive rule and are trying to purchase some degree of immunity.

They have. I was at my local JCP just yesterday and there was a JCP doing a store inspection. Talked to him briefly and he confirmed to me that the company has changed back; and the customers and employees are much happier with the direction of the company.

I am not saying they will make it long term, but traffic and sales are improving.

[GeronL]

and did corporate contributions to pro-gay causes change too?

[Phillyred]

Guess I’ll start a “targeted” boycott.

Grammar nazi. ;)
