Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel has bowed to national outrage and issued an apology (just to his employees, so far) for funding an anti-gay Minnesota PAC to the tune of $150,000. Steinhafel's letter says the company "will more closely scrutinize" political donations in the future. Minnesota Forward, the recipient of Target's dough, funneled the money to anti-gay candidate for governor, Tom Emmer. Is this enough to call off the LGBT dogs? We shall see. And no word yet from Best Buy, who made a similar donation.

Matt Morris Goes To Best Buy
Openly gay pop singer Matt Morris took his video camera to Best Buy to record their company-wide promotion of his new album, only to later learn that like Target, they too had contributed a ton of money to anti-gay candidate for governor of Minnesota, Tom Emmer. Morris then edited this clip to include a plea for his fans to bring HRC's petition to Best Buy. (Oh, but buy the album too.)
