They like gay money JUST FINE. And gay labor. And gay designers. But the profit they make - eh.
And they do offer same-sex partner benefits, which is better than my employer has to offer.
I know plenty of LGBT folks who think Target's the awesomest and don't care about the bs that happened with them. I see gay and lesbian couples heading to and from the local Target with regularity - and that's in a town where gay and lesbian couples are a rarity to see. But just the thought of giving that company a dime still feels like ashes in my mouth. I personally cannot bring myself to do it. Target was magic for me before that bs, and now it's lost all its sparkle.
