TARGET RELEASES NEW SAME-SEX WEDDING REGISTRY AD

TARGET RELEASES NEW SAME-SEX WEDDING REGISTRY AD | Target recently unveiled a new ad for their wedding registry service featuring a gay male couple holding hands and dressed to the nines. The ad proclaims “Be Yourself, Together.” Though the company came under fire for campaign donations to anti-gay marriage political groups and campaigns, Target has been a major sponsor for the Pride festivities in its hometown of Minneapolis, sold pride T-shirts benefiting the Family Equality Council, and ranks high on the Human Rights Campaign’s corporate equality index ranking businesses on LGBT-friendly workplace policies.

LGBT equality (for instance, to Michele Bachmann)? His agenda will continue to creep into Target's corporate policies.
