Twin Cities Pride Reviewing Options In Wake Of Target Support For Anti-Gay Republican Tom Emmer

Target's support for anti-gay Republican Tom Emmer is burning bridges and destroying trust with communities and organizations that thought Target was on their side. The latest: Twin Cities Pride is now discussing how to respond to Target's decision. From TheColu.mn:

Twin Cities Pride Executive Director Dot Betsler tells TheColu.mn that her organization is still trying to decide how to respond to Target Corporation’s donation of $100,000 in cash and $50,000 worth of goods and services to MN Forward, a Republican pressure group founded by former Pawlenty deputy chief of staff Brian McClung that’s helping fund ads supporting GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer. ...

Pro-business Emmer may be, but the state legislator has also been linked to a prominent local anti-gay group, and has not exactly been at the forefront of the fight for LGBTQ equality in the Minnesota legislature, last May voting against a popular anti-bullying bill that was ultimately vetoed by Governo Tim Pawlenty.
