Today I went to HRC‘s front page to see what they thought about this whole Target/Best Buy contribution thing considering that they have ranked both companies very highly on GLBT issues. I’ll let them explain
Target and Best Buy have donated $250,000 to a political action committee supporting a rabidly anti-equality candidate for Governor of Minnesota, where both are headquartered – a man with ties to a Christian rock band that advocates violence and death to gays.
We’ve drafted an open letter calling on Target and Best Buy to make it right by donating an equal amount to support fair-minded candidates who will fight for equality. We’re publishing it in a full-page ad in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Will you help us ratchet up the pressure by adding your name?
