you're hallucinating. Nobody said anything about putting them out of business. Nobody gives 2 sheets about Target. All we (I and others) have said is that we'll take our business elsewhere.

I realize it's extremely difficult for some folks to comprehend. Guess you'll just have to deal with it.

Don't be silly.

Of course conservatives support a free market.

Those conservatives who disagree with Target's bold plan to shoot themselves in the foot will do business with Walmart instead.

What could be a better example of the free market than that?

And now Target is blocking emails from the American Family Association. Apparently, they're being bombarded with complaints from angry right-wingers.

AFA should have kept their mouths shut on this. Don't like the shirts, don't buy the shirts. Don't like the store, don't shop the store.

Geesh, Starbucks, JC Penney, Urban Outfitters, Target. Soon, all the homophobes will have left is Walmart. Oh... wait.

Zero net impact made!

(Microsoft, too, has supported Gay marriage legislation. Better rethink that Windows machine in front of you)

Uh oh. Then what will they use for PCs? Both the Mac and Linux communities seem pretty gay-friendly. Maybe someone can come up with an anti-gay Linux distro.

You know... Just because this action gets under your skin personally, doesn't mean the action is regrettable or that it will be regretted by anyone other than you.

The American Family Association, a conservative Christian group, frequently sends out "action alerts" on matters of concern to its members, some of whom routinely forward them on to me for verification. The latest of these accuses retail giant Wal-Mart of forging an alliance with the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, an activist group known for promoting same-sex marriage, among other things. Is Wal-Mart Catering to Homosexuals?

LOL...Soon you bigots are going to run out of places to shop..
