That Target is in bed with the sodomites is unsubstantiated. That Target caved to pressure from the sodomites is a logical and reasonable conclusion given the articles in the World Net Daily and AgapePress links provided, as well as the article that started this thread.

I read both of those.

With all due respect sir...World Net Daily would tell me that I should be incarcerated for letting my kids read the Harry Potter books. I, along with many sane individuals on this forum, would not consider WND as an informative source regarding social issues...they fly off the handle way too much.

The premise of the Agape article rests on the notion of:

"Pro-family groups based in Washington, DC, and in Illinois say homosexuals are behind a new policy at Target stores that has resulted in banning Salvation Army kettle drive activities on the retail chain's premises nationwide."

There are no hard facts to back that up...only what Pro-family groups based in Washington, DC, and in Illinois say. I can say that Wayne Newton is the anti-Christ...it doesn't mean that its true.

If homosexual groups were so bent on Target's support of the Salvation Army, why haven't we seen or heard of fag protests over this issue before? This link Link spells out Targets policy. I'm thinking this is more of a scenario of gay and lez groups saying "If you let the SA be in front of your store this Christmas (making an exception to your policy)...we will sue for discrimination and make sure that NAMBLA solicits in front of your store along with a host of others." So either follow through with your policy to the letter...or suffer the consequences. Jesse Jackson is real good at this. Target, probably not wanting to deal with all that...followed thru with its policy to the letter...akin to the "one jerk ruins it for the rest of us" phenomena. I see it as that...not pandering to the G&L lobby.

Please read the AgapePress report more carefully, then get back to me.

Rick Garcia, director of the homosexual lobby group Equality Illinois, even admitted recently on WYLL's The Walsh Forum radio program that homosexual activists have pressured Target to stop supporting The Salvation Army.

The director of a homosexual lobby group publicly admits that "homosexual activists have pressured Target to stop supporting The Salvation Army" yet you still state there are "no hard facts"?
