    Yeah, there’s basically no larger company from that time that doesn’t have a history of donating to anti-LGBT politicians and causes. Target briefly becoming basically the only national retail chain selling binders had put them back in my good graces, but being fucking babies about pissing off the trash and supporting their employees who are dealing with the trash has dumped absolutely all that good will.

        For sure, no disagreement from me. Queer people have been warning about how corporations aren’t your friend since forever for a reason.

      Fair enough, I guess my point (besides just making sure these couple of historical footnotes don’t go down the memory hole) is that this is all totally in keeping with Target’s pattern of pretending to be progressive to get the conscientious consumer dollar and then backtracking the second they think it’s in their interest to do so

        Yup. Corporations view us as a temporary resource they can withdraw support from when needed, it’s in our interest to treat them the same.
