'Shop Target' Day June 4

Faith-based and "family" groups want to boycott Target on June 4, lets show them our purchasing power by making our dollars count.
Recently Faith2Action, a “pro-family group,” has vowed to take back the restrooms at Target. They are planning to boycott the retailer on June 4 in what they are calling “Don’t Target Our Daughters Day.”

SDGLN, and its publisher Hale Media would like to make a call to action to not stop Target on that day, but instead SHOP TARGET.
“If there’s one thing the LGBT community knows how to do, it is to boycott companies that practice bigotry,” said Johnathan Hale, publisher of SDGLN.
“We also know how to SHOP! Please join me and all of us at SDGLN in our Shop Target campaign on June 4th.”

Spending your dollars at Target on Saturday June 4 sends a message to the retail chain that the community is on their side, and that we won't stand for bigotry or transphobia.
We at SDGLN and Hale Media believe that the LGBT community can counteract the "Don't Target Our Daughters Day" boycott by heading through Target doors and spending our money in unison.

Says Hale: "Let’s put our gay dollars to work supporting those that stand with us in our fight for full equality!”

But buying Chinese made crap so a private corporation can profit? There's gotta be a better way to make the same point.
