Sorry Eric, but even Snopes does not say that this is an urban legend, but a
misunderstanding. At bottom, Forrey's concerns were understandable
considering how the clerk handled the situation and the rather uninformative
letter that Target sent out to try to clear things up. Note that Target does
not explicitly deny Forrey's accusations. They only say that all their
contributions are made at corporate levels and that those contributions must
meet corporate giving guidelines -- which the Vets only meet if they fall
under the terms of "education, arts or family violence prevention." I will
bet darned few Veterans' organizations meet those guidelines, but that
plenty of homosexual groups claim to meet them.
