When Target began selling the pro-gay shirts late May, the American Family Association sent out an alert to supporters, asking them to let Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel 'know that a majority of Americans oppose same-sex marriage and are able to use their pocketbooks to voice their opposition to companies that support it.' Already, half of the 10 shirts featured online are out of stock.
The shirts are on sale throughout the month of June in conjunction with LGBT Pride Month. Target has partnered with Family Equality Council and is currently supporting the LGBT group with 100 percent of the proceeds it receives through its collection of gay pride T-shirts (up to a maximum donation of $120,000).ĭesigned by musician Gwen Stefani, the shirts feature messages such as 'Harmony,' 'Pride,' and 'Love Is Love,' along with a rainbow. I encourage you to call their corporate office and share your personal thoughts,' the family group told supporters. 'I hope you will not let Target silence your voice.
Giant retailer Target has blocked emails from the conservative American Family Association after its supporters began urging the company to pull its promotion of homosexuality.
