Shame on Target!



StreetWalkersNYC was invited to cover the Kaleidoscopic Fashion Spectacular at the Standard Hotel on Little West 12th Street which was sponsored by Target.

However, Mike Milan and I do NOT support Target or any event involving Target due to recent events where CEO Gregg Steinhafel of the Target Corporation made a $150,000 contribution to Minnesota Forward (MNF), which endorses and financially contributes to conservative Minnesota gubernational candidate Tom Emmer.

Emmer has very direct and obvious ties of support to, and has openly participated in fundraising for a radical Christian Group called, "You can run but you can't hide," who's pathetically ignorant leader Bradlee Dean has "spoken with some approval of Muslim attacks on homosexuals," bringing into our classrooms the belief that gay men and women should be killed solely for their sexual orientation...

So with that being said, so long as Target employs a person who can be so horrible as to fund political action committees that support people who support such organizations that harness that much hate for any person for whatever reason, We do not support Target nor any events that are related in any manner. Fortunately, we did get some great shots outside as there was a protest against the event and went about our streetwalking ways.
