Gay Target
22 December 2004Christian conservative groups like Concerned Women for America, the American Family Association and the Christian Defense Coalition say they've found the culprit behind Target's decision to bar Salvation Army bell-ringers. Fortuitously for them, it's not some ambiguous corporate policy, or capitalism itself, but a more familiar enemy: homosexuals. That's right, according to groups organizing the catchily-named Target boycott, "Operation Teach-Scrooge-a-Lesson," gay-rights groups pressured Target to drop the Salvation Army kettles because the organization refuses to give domestic-partner benefits to its employees. LGBT rights groups have denied any lobbying efforts, and Target has consistently maintained the decision was made to be fair to the other charities requesting permission to solicit as well.
