Christian conservative Janet Porter of
Faith 2 Action has joined the boycott of Target over its recent
endorsement of gay marriage.
Last week, the National Organization
for Marriage (NOM), the nation's most vociferous opponent of marriage
equality, responded to Target's endorsement by launching a boycott.
NOM has previously launched boycotts against Starbucks, General Mills
and, most recently, JP Morgan Chase.

The Minnesota-based Target announced
last week that it has signed on to an amicus brief in support
of plaintiffs challenging marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in
Chicago will hear oral arguments in Baskin v. Bogan (Indiana)
and Wolf v. Walker (Wisconsin) later this month.
“Target takes aim at natural
marriage,” Porter
told her radio listeners. “They are using your hard-earned
shopping dollars to stand for counterfeit marriage.
“I called Target to let them know I
won't be shopping there anymore until they reverse their policy on
the corruption of marriage, and you can too.”
“Stand for marriage by boycotting
Target,” she added.
Porter recently launched ReaganBook,
the social media alternative for conservatives.
