Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida.
- Boycott Arizona because of their uncivilized anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform.
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.

Vancouver Gay Pride; Aug 1, 2010
Minneapolis, MN - The outpouring of online anger at Target turned to the streets on Aug. 5, as more than 50 people protested outside of Target's store on Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue in the heart of Minneapolis's Latino community. Target is under fire for contributing $150,000 to MN Forward for television ads in support of Minnesota Republican governor candidate Tom Emmer, a man infamous for his extreme anti-immigrant, anti-gay and anti-minimum wage views.
Outrage ensued when Target's support for Emmer came to light last week. A Facebook group called "Boycott Target Until They Cease Funding Anti-Gay Politics" quickly amassed over 46,000 members and within days MoveOn. org collected more than 260,000 signatures against Target's support of Emmer.
The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAc) and the Boycott Arizona-MN (BAM!) campaign rallied numerous communities to protest outside the Lake Street Target store, all outraged at Emmer's extreme right wing politics and at Target's support of the candidate.
According to Anh Pham of MIRAc, "We organized this protest because immigrants spend a lot of money at Target and we don't want that money going to people who attack our community. This is a powerful opportunity to join together in alliance with workers, poor people and the LGBTQ community. Target really screwed up - but we are building a broad and powerful coalition to stop Target from doing this again and to stop Emmer's agenda in its tracks."
MIRAc's Ana Vasquez outlined Emmer's voting record for anti-immigrant bills, including drastic measures like denying prenatal care to women who are undocumented and his praising of Arizona's anti-immigrant SB1070 bill, calling it "a wonderful first step."
Jennie Eisert of the Anti-War Committee spoke about the outrage toward Emmer and Target from the LGBTQ community. Emmer supports bills to deny domestic partner benefits to gay and lesbian couples and supports a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Target is particularly vulnerable to criticism from the LGBTQ community, as they have spent years cultivating a gay-friendly image.
Deb Konechne of the Welfare Rights Committee and Minnesota Coalition for a People's Bailout spoke about Emmer's long record of attacks on working class and poor people, which blew up in his face in the recent flap over Emmer's proposal to lower the minimum wage and to cut wages for servers that get tips.
Target's large financial contribution to MN Forward is one of the first examples of the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2009 ruling that allows corporations to give unrestricted money to political campaigns. Target's CEO Gregg Steinhafel was unprepared for the whirlwind of anger from the LGBTQ community, immigrants and workers. As they spun into damage-control mode, Target initially said they were supporting Emmer because of his pro-business policies, not because of his social policies. Then under increasing pressure, on Aug. 5 Steinhafel issued an apology, saying he was sorry that gay Target employees felt offended by this. Organizers of the Thursday's Target protest declared that the half-apology was not enough, because Steinhafel did not commit to stop funding for MN Forward or Emmer's campaign and also only addressed the anger felt by the LGBTQ community, not by immigrants or workers.
