Several of you were aware of my connections with Target : →[More:]
For those of you who didn't, my grandfather owned a chain of bookstores he sold to what is now TGT when the family of the Democratic candidate for governor of MN (who had a sterling record on gay rights when he was in the senate)was still running the company.

My hunch is that the donation to Emmer was intended as a "fuck you" to Mark Dayton. I agree with the Human Rights Campaign that words aren't enough; compensation has to be made.I think that if the donation were strictly about business, TGT would have made matching donations to gay rights organizations when the HRC first called for it.

My father and I have joined with a group of investors who are adding a proposal dealing with this to the ballot of the next shareholders meeting .

I don't have any problems with those who are boycotting TGT over this issue.
