69.241.114.130 (talk) 03:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC) footnote 68 doesn't look to be valid anymore. Maybe the roof has changed?[reply]

Political Giving and LGBT Community Boycotts Target

Target has come under fire for large political donations to extremely anti-gay causes and candidates. They have also selecttively sued marriage equality advocates while ignoring Yes on Prop 8 solicitors. They have spent a great deal of effort scrubbing their image in the mainstream media as well as online using very heavy handed tactics. This is very important, if they want to delve into politics and site free speech, they need to allow everyone else the same privilege. The Bill of Rights still trumps corporate policy, for now... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.22.34.201 (talk) 21:25, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"As of May 2010, the gay and lesbian community has been boycotting Target over donations to anti-gay groups and politicians." -- Minnesota Forward is not an "Anti-Gay" group, they are a political action group that has supported both Democrats and Republicans. I think the current blurb should be changed to something like: "As of May 2010, the gay and lesbian community has been boycotting Target over donations to Minnesota Forward, a bipartisan Political Action Group that funded Republican Tom Emmer in the Minnesota 2010 Gubernational Election". I really feel like the current information is very inflammatory given its lack of credibility. 174.53.138.123 (talk) 03:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Areas served

I have removed Canada from the "areas served" section, as Canada is not currently being served by Target, and will not be until 2013 or 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.99.247 (talk) 22:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
