NOM announces Target boycott after declaration for LGBT rights

National Organization for Marriage president Brian Brown released a statement calling for a boycott against Target after the company announced support for same-sex marriage this week.

The statement:

“Target and other companies need to be forced to realize that it is their alignment with the radical cause of redefining marriage that is “bad for business”—not states’ marriage laws that uphold and protect the common-sense idea that kids do best with a mom and a dad!

So I’m announcing a new boycott today, against Target, for insulting consumers like you and me. The brief they signed in court this week insinuates that people like you and me, who would vote to uphold traditional marriage, as akin to segregationists and racial bigots. Would you want to shop at a place that viewed you in that way?”

This makes Target the latest in a string of boycotts by NOM including Starbucks and JP Morgan Chase.
