The Human Rights Campaign, the largest homosexual organization in America, has pledged to boycott Wal-Mart and instead shop at Target this Christmas season. Why? Target gives benefits to homosexual partners like they do to married couples, but Wal-Mart does not. The HRC boasts that they can direct billions of dollars in sales, and is pledging to shift that money to Target unless they get equal treatment.
The American Family Association (AFA) sees this move as a double-whammy: not only does Wal-Mart stand up for the traditional family, but it also allows the Salvation Army to solicit Christmas donations out front (Target does not). As such, the AFA recommends shopping at Wal-Mart rather than Target for this Christmas season.
In an interview with Andrea Stone of USA Today, AFA's Don Wildmon challenged Stone to look at Wal-Mart's sales at the end of December to see which group -- the homosexual lobby or those supporting traditional marriage -- has the greater financial influence on the matter. The HRC has basically said "put up or shut up" to the pro-traditional marriage crowd, and the AFA is responding in kind.
If this is something about which you feel strongly, you have now been informed. Do with it what you will.
There's my two cents.

Deffinately Walmart.
After calling Walmart every year for years and chewing them out a good one every time they answered the phone and said "Happy Holiday's" Instead of "Merry Christmas", I finally got them to listen (At least in my major Walmart Store) in Oklahoma and they now say "Merry Christmas".
I bet they are glad they done have to hear from that crazy lady in OKC anymore lol.
I didnt know about this Target thing!
I will be boycotting Target!
