"Target stores donate $100K to LGBT nonprofit that promotes ‘inclusive’ K-12 schools"

“Target department stores are not only offering clothing and accessories celebrating the gay lifestyle to adults and children, but the company has also pledged to donate to a nonprofit that trains students and teachers in LGBT politics and advocacy.

On Target’s official website, it has several pages dedicated to merchandise that features the rainbow gay pride flag as well as messages intended to instill pride in the LGBT lifestyle. In addition, Target proclaims that it is donating $100,000 to GLSEN, an organization founded in 1990 that claims to be ‘the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe and affirming schools for LGBTQ students…’

According to GLSEN’s website, ‘Our mission is to create safe and affirming schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.’

The organization offers lesson plans for elementary school children on ‘gender-neutral’ pronouns and terminology as part of the Common Core curriculum as well as introducing gender ideology to third-graders. GLSEN partners with the United Nations and like-minded groups in Canada, China, Ireland, Israel, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

Coincidently, Target chief marketing officer Rick Gomez also serves on GLSEN’s board of directors.

GLSEN provides training and resources to LGBTQ activists on school campuses while also advocating the homosexual cause in the political sphere. According to its website, ‘We accomplish our goals by working in hallways across the country — from Congress and the Department of Education to schools and district offices in your community — to improve school climate and champion LGBT issues in K-12 education’

Target offers children’s clothing, for example, that features the rainbow flag and promotes the LGBT cause. One shirt proclaims, ‘Love my dads,’ and another says, ‘Love my moms.’ Others shirts are emblazoned with the rainbow flag bearing the word ‘pride’ superimposed.

For adults, there are the ‘Pride Adult Gender Inclusive Iridescent Five Panel Hat,’ ‘Pride Striped Bisexual Flag Bandana,’ ‘Pride Striped Transgender Flag Bandana,’ ‘Pride Adult Striped Gender Inclusive Jumpsuit,’ and a number of other accessories and articles of clothing.

Besides Target, major donors to GLSEN include Hollister, Walt Disney, JP Morgan Chase and Co., HBO, Delta Airlines, NBA, McDonald’s, AT&T, Morgan Stanley, Gucci, Bloomberg, and Colgate-Palmolive. Through its board members, GLSEN also maintains a relationship with the largest teachers union in the United States, the National Education Association.”
