Wow, that was the fastest I've ever seen any Target employee respond to a call. |

This video is retarded. These people are going in pissed off at the minimum wage workers, when they didn't do anything. They're just making someone's day harder. If you want to protest, go to their corporate headquarters. I can guarantee you, that most of the workers at Target don't even have a clue about the donation. |

When you think you're being discriminated against, just stick your ass in everybody's face until they start liking you. |

Bitch bitch bitch, protesters need something better to do with their time. Like build a multi-million dollar corporation so they can donate the proceeds to help their causes instead of chastising the corporations who may donate against their causes. |

At the Target I work at...no joke...3/4 of the male population there are either bi or gay. So, at least, on the store level we are def not homophobic! |

"The concept of perversion is subjective,[1] and its application varies depending on culture."
That.
"As a psychological term, it was originally applied especially frequently to bisexual and homosexual behavior."
Was originally. Is not now. Read the new DSM. |

Wow, those fags (literally) just made themselves look really dumb. If one does some research, Target did this in support of Tom Emmer's stance on businesses and not BECAUSE he is anti-LGBT. That's just some other crap that Target doesn't give a $#!t about. They just annoyed some people and made some vast assumptions and felt really good about themselves because of how self-righteous they are. And it doesn't help that the "protesters" were fat and ugly. |

Angilion, I use 'foolish kids' as a description, not an insult. As I already said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when anyone thinks their opinion gives them a right to insult or deride those who don't share it that makes them foolish and immature. Playground mentality gets issues nowhere and moral issues aren't something that can be solved by name calling and pretentious
behaviour. Just to let you know, im not actually anti gay people, I just made the statement that I think it's sad when people stand up for something (in this case perversion. Look it up in a dictionary, homosexuality *is* a perversion of human biology), they get branded by all the 70 IQ pointed hip young things that obviously have no clue how to get their opinions across in an effective way ;p

These protesters are dumb. They should realize that corporate makes the decisions as to where they donate their money, not the store owners or managers. I get that they were trying to boycot target, but they could have done that outside of the store. The yelling that they did at the owners was of no use either because the owners didn't make the donation. Plus, maybe target gave the money to Tom Emmer simply because they wanted recognition and advertising and not because they wanted to fight gays. Sure it's not a good thing for the gays, but Target probably had other objectives in mind when they gave out the money and the gay rights activists are jumping to conclusions in my opinion. |

Oh, sorry Angilion. What actually happened is that I read something that wasn't there, somehow, and not that I didn't read something that was.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. People who feel the need to brand their intellectual opposites with derogatory names are just foolish kids :)
So you're just a foolish kid by your own definition. You should know better by your age. |

Angillion and TR-Wolf, you do not live in the US. What a civil union is where you live has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the definition of a civil union in the US.
No, really?
Try reading the posts. If you do that, you'll be less likely to embarrass yourself by indulging in irrelevant shouting. |

Nope. You just have to live together 6 months with the opposite sex. No joke.
Naybe in your state, but not in the UK (which is where we were talking about). There is no such thing in the UK and hasn't been since the Roman occupation (the usus form of Roman marriage required a year living together). Despite that, many people still believe it exists and call it "common law marriage". Which doesn't exist. |

For a civil marriage you have to sign papers as well.
It isn't *necessary* in England and the actual marriage occurs as soon as the spoken agreement is completed, according to the government's pages on marriage and civil partnerships. The signing of papers is for easier record-keeping, apparently.
I've just found out that there are pro-gay campaigners in the UK campaigning for homosexuals to have preferential treatment over heterosexuals when it comes to marriage and the government looks set to allow it.
As usual, it's a case of all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Those who advocate for a group are advocating against equality. They may use the word 'equality', but they are just parasites feeding off it while corrupting it. |

actually, it wasn't Target at all. It was a Target boardmember who donated some of his own money to the campaign. Of course, the media leaves that part of the story out. |

Lolboy, the "manager" doesn't even understand why they're protesting, which is why I highly doubt those people were managers. If the managers knew what the protest was about, they'd think through the situation logically, not scream at people to get out. |

Wait just a minute fknloser, You're simplifying this situation a bit. I think it's more about hypocrisy. Target grew on it's non-discrimination policy. It made itself an example of what an anti-WalMart big box chain could be like. Thereby making it more shopper friendly to like minded shoppers. They went out of their way to hire gay celebrities and designers over the years who helped market and brand their store as gay friendly. Giving financial support solely to politicians who are actively against gay rights is a slap in the face to their core demographics. While I might not agree with this particular protest they are doing exactly what a betrayed consumer base should do. Protest and boycott until they see the error of their ways. I think they have but they don't know how to make it right. |

I dislike the phrase You NEED to leave" or any similar use of the word "need". The person saying it actually means "I want" but says "You need" in a very annoying passive aggressive way. |

Siyanor: Maybe you missed it, but the guy filming was working with the people making the overhead pages, so the managers were like yeah GTFO or we're calling the police. They could have just talked to the manager about what she thought about it, but instead they were causing disruptions in the store like children, so yeah, they didnt talk to them about it. |
