Lopsided as it may be, as gays - money's all we've got. We don't have the numbers to wield any political clout. But by and large, we don't have kids - and everyone seems to love our disposable income.
I try to be balanced in many things, and it's true there's no direct line from a contribution to any particular issue a candidate supports.
But gay rights is a make or break issue with me. I appreciate knowing who supports my right with deeds, or with hollow words, or not at all. I can conduct my personal spending accordingly.
I don't know if I'll "boycott" Target, but I'll think before I buy anything there for a while.
