I understand why you think Target should be boycotted, my question is what makes them uniquely deserving of such since pretty much every major corporation, regardless of how gay friendly they are in practice, has committed the same sin of giving money, indirectly or directly, to impure candidates on this issue.
I know you use Sprint everyday. So far in this election cycle they've donated money directly to James Webb, Lamar Alexander, Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Jim DeMint, John Isakson, John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Harry Reid, etc. All of whom oppose legalization of gay marriage. Are you equally torn about continuing as a Sprint customer as you are continuing as a Target customer?
Moving online with your shopping probably won't help much unless you're going to stay away from brands. Google isn't clean. Amazon isn't clean. Here are the
direct federal candidate contributions by Disney so far this cycle. I'm guessing there are at least 2 dozen people on that list opposed to gay marriage.
So converse to the question "if Target then why not everybody else?" I'd ask "who is sufficiently pure?"
