What does celebrating "diversity" of "sexual orientation" mean to you?

Then you best watch out, because the Federal government does the exact same thing. They are doing what over 95% of all American corporations are doing and whether we like it or not it it seems idiotic to single out Target from all other retailers. Also, the implication of the boycott is that Target is contributing money to groups that promote homosexuality and doing so as their main charitable effort. If Target bends to the Christian boycott they are then faced with a gay boycott, and at the end of the day, it is about the bottom line. Why can't we just let retailers do what they do, which is provide us with a good product at a reasonable price? If a sign saying Happy Holidays offends you, then go somewhere else, but an official boycott detracts the Conservative movement from the really important issues and makes us look trivial.

So target will cater to the 1% of the population and PO the 84% of Christians. Marketing strategy can't be that dumb. Amen.

Dodge. You said they didn't support any homosexual agenda, I showed they did.

Then you bring the Federal government's support of Pride Month into this. Yes, under Bill Clinton homosexuals were afforded privileged status. Doesn't make it right.

When is heterosexuality celebrated?

No one cheers when people do the right thing.

I am disgusted by "major corporations" support for homosexuality. And yes some actively funnel money to pro-homosexual charities.

Target wasn't being singled out for their support of the homosexual agenda. You were the one who brought that into the discussion (and got it wrong). They were being singled out for adopting a corporate wide plan to end their active participation in all things Christmas. I don't see them ending their "holiday sales" though.
