Seems like a lot of gay guys work at the Target by my house but with the prices on men's clothing who could blame them!

Define 'work'. Depends on what you're trying to achieve. The boycott of Nestle in the 1970s was pretty effective. The boycott of South Africa worked eventually.

Yes, very good, you really blew the lid off of that one.

You're equating "wanting to make money" with "bad". Since every single corporation needs to make money to exist, by your standards they are all necessarily bad. That's not even naive, it's just stupid.

Well this one on Target is clearly working. When I drove by the local Target this weekend the parking lot was only 3/4 full and starving employees were lined up outside begging for bread crusts.
