Let me start off by stating I have many gay friends….I am also a Christian.( STOP!! Don’t shoot!!) it really is a shame, that in this great country, where we “claim” to be so tolerant, so supportive of views & individualism, such the ‘ol ” melting pot”, but yet if you don’t believe in EVERYTHING that EVERYBODY else does, your classified as a bigot, or racist….I believe in marriage as it is written in the Bible, but that’s not to say I am against a civil union for gay or lesbian or blue avatar couples…but do not try and tell me it’s the same. We will always be on opposite sides of the fence, but that doesn’t prevent me from being a good neighbor! Let people give their money to whomever they choose, and stop the hypocrisy!! There will always be one group hating another…some abhor fat people…rich people, poor people, Christians, Jews, gays, blacks, rednecks…so get off your self-righteous pony.

You are in America…you don’t HAVE to eat at chick-fil-a, or shop at target, or really do anything anymore.Don’t give me your “tolerance” speech until your ready to quit screaming about fairness-I’m sick of my rights as an American & Christian, slowly taken from me because I happen to stand by my moral code and beliefs.

It seems as if A LOT of people here shop at Target & want to continue to do so without feeling guilty.

There are a number of reasons to not shop at Target other than bigotry.

This article is severely lacking and can give the appearance of being misleading.

The title suggests a “present tense” action of corporations donating money to anti LGBT. “These Other Corporations Donate To Anti-Gay Causes Too.” Very misleading.

Target had not donated that money since 2010. They apologized. Matter of fact, they sell gay pride t shirts and currently advertise two men getting married for their wedding registry. http://www.styleite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/target-wedding-gay.jpeg

Journalism is about writing about the hear and now….not lingering in the past.

To be fair Target is in the process of changing its way.

I concur about Target. They gave a one-time donation to a MN gubernatorial candidate that didn’t even win. But they are also a huge supporter of the Pride Festival here in MN, sold Pride t-shirts via their website as well as all of the local charities they support with a percentage of every dollar you spend there. Furthermore, they apologized for supporting Emmer. Best Buy got called out on it and never responded. Not one word. But all of these, even EXXON Mobil are a far cry from Chick Fil-a.

These contributions are different because the companies believe the candidate running is in their best interest. It really has nothing to do with gay rights. Gay rights is not on the top of a company’s priority list when it comes to which candidate to support, even if the company is gay friendly.

As for Exxon, they have every right not to support partners of domestic partnerships or civil unions. In fact, this just gives gay rights supporters more ammunition as to why the need for gay marriage is so important. So that their spouses can get on their insurance and get the equal benefits as their straight coworkers.
