The fact remains that this donation aside, Target has been very good on equality issues, including offering benefits to same-sex partners and otherwise being gay-family friendly. The apology to its employees and a promise to do better should be enough, demanding "reparations" seems like a cheap shakedown attempt. I don’t agree with the boycott, but this was pretty funny.

I am aware that there's a Facebook page, and a grass roots boycott, but those don't reach people unless we keep talking - and they don't reach the companies we're boycotting unless we keep talking to them, too. A Facebook page is powerful, sure, but it isn't enough.
