I think Target has done its part to solve this issue. Some activists need

I can get a good deal.
Moderator: You think? Did you read anything? Target did nothing to resolve the issue and it has gotten worst as Target even took the gay community to court and Target lost. David just beat Goliath. You shop where you want. You have to live with yourself. All the gay activists that have been killed to support your rights and you insult them as well as us with this email? I think you work for Target, or been paid by Target. Otherwise, you have no shame. ....jake
