I am joining the growing boycott of Target based on their support of the hateful politician Tom Emmer, who supports a music group that calls for the execution of gays and lesbians.

Dear Mr. Steinhafel:

The website for Target proudly trumpets its support of "Diversity" and of
fostering an "inclusive culture." I guess this doesn't mean all customers
since your company supports anti-gay politicians with affiliations to
extremists calling for vigilante killings of gay people.

Your company uses designers like Isaac Mizrahi and Todd Oldham as draws,
using their talent and celebrity to line your pockets. The advertising and
marketing team you hire is allowed to use knowing winks in your brand
identity, and you pay for concerts of gay icons like Grace Jones to make
yourself seem friendly and cool to suck in customers and create brand
loyalty.

How in any god's name can you then justify financial support of this kind
of hate and discrimination?

I am sure your company would not reject a gay couple registering at Target
to have friends and family spend their hard-earned money on your products.
It is sickening to think you are funneling that money to empower those who
look at other human beings and citizens of this country as second-class,
at best, and possibly even as human targets.

There is no justification for your company to be supporting those that are
affiliated with a group this hateful.

I fully support the growing call for a boycott of your company.

Sincerely,

Adam Dugas
Brooklyn, NY
