OFF TARGET.

Cabs' Editor's Note Regarding The Target Boycott:

It is Christmastime folks, the time that we all flock to the stores (any store, every store!) in order to fill stockings and cross names off our gift lists.  This may seem like the most difficult time of year to continue a boycott on Target, the super store of cheap and plenty.  However, this is the most important time to continue it. This is when our boycott can make the most difference.  This is when they expect us all to forget the significant anti-gay candidate support and overlook their refusal to apologize for it.  This is when they know our desire to shop has the possibility to trump our values and sadly, our self-respect.  But on the flipside, this is the time when they are counting on our cash the most.  This is when they need the numbers in order to get out of the black for the year. And this is when a collective boycott by the GLBTQIA community can make the biggest impact.  Don't give them your money so that they can continue to give it to people who actively work for anti-equality legislation.  There are plenty of online shops that can provide you with whatever you need.  Consider doing one better than that.  Consider heading out into your own cities and towns and buying your gifts from locally-owned businesses.  Those are the businesses and people who support you.  This season, choose to give your money back to them; choose to make that present for your loved one a present to your community as well. I plead with you, no matter how hard it might be to drive past the giant bullseye, don't forget that they put a bullseye on your back.  Put your money where your mouth is and buy local.
