It's easy to see why Target and Wal-Mart sell items "promoting the gay agenda". Same reason they sell items that promote things that are actually bad (violence, drug use, sexual promiscuity, etc.)
Because they know you have the ability and inclination to eventually get over it and come back to their store.
Do you check the charitable donations of every place you shop?
Do you check every item available in every store you shop in?
Or do you only get upset when it is brought to your attention?

Oh, c'mon! You're really gonna start doing all these things now? Fine, I guess, if you got a full day to waste just preparing to buy a soda at the nearest convenience store
I think these companies have realized that these right wing groups are no different than PETA on the left (they are small and loud). They probably also realized that their boycotts mean nothing.
People on the left and the right just don't care about this crap in sufficient numbers to make these fringe boycotts meaningful.
There are tons of major companies that market to gays by the way.

Reason: hotlinking is not permitted per the TOS
Miller light, Budweiser, Coors, Ikea, Bridgestone tires, Levis, L Oreal, Covergirl, The S C Johnson company, Subaru, GM, Volvo, VW, Ford, Cadillac, Nissan, Toyota, Disney, Proctor and Gamble, Kraft foods, and many more advertise directly to the LGBT community.
The Family Research Council and American Family Association are steamed. The AFA says Target is "ramming same-sex marriage down the throats of the American people".
At this point, I have to wonder if these groups are plants - every time they whine about something featuring a gay person, the company's image actually improves in the eyes of the general public... Or at least the people who shop there, I suspect the anti-gay demographic trends towards Walmart and away from Target and JC Penney.
