People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
lol at the person calling it debauchery
Truth. It really might be the best thing ever written.

I don’t get the credit I deserve and I’m not afraid to stand up for myself
Effects Of Thinking White People Are “All Like That”:
- Literally nothing other than white people having their feelings hurt on the internet

Once Again, a Black Person Is Shot and Killed While Looking for Help
NEW DETAILS ARE EMERGING.
The autopsy report shows that McBride was shot in her face, not in the back of her head.
She was going door to door seeking help after a car wreck and her cellphone died.
It was officially ruled a homicide, but her killer, a 54-year old male, hasn’t been arrested. Oh, also, his name isn’t being released because no charges have fucking been filed. According to police the shooter told them that the gun “accidentally discharged” and he believed McBride was “breaking into his house.”
Which is fucking horse shit because she was only 5’4” and fucking unarmed.
Also, he himself called 911 to report the shooting, but then immediately hung up and didn’t answer when dispatchers tried to call him back.
People are trying to make a deal about her blood alcohol content, which found to be .218 at the time of her death, so just expect a gigantic headache when you do your research. I strongly recommend just not reading the comments altogether.
McBride’s funeral was on November 8th.
The Wayne County prosecutor has called a press conference, to be held tomorrow (November 15) at 11 am. She says she will be making an announcement regarding the case.
May she rest in peace, and may justice be done.
:(((((!!!!
I’ve seen like two articles that had her blood alcohol level as their headline and some saying she had marijuana in her system, is it supposed to be some sort of justification for shooting her in the face? Or is it trying to paint her as a bad person?
Every time a minority youth is murdered, yes murdered, the media tries to justify the crime. They try and say they looked suspicious or they were inebriated or something. They try to bring up “past crimes” of the victim, to somehow say they deserved it. No one deserves this. She was in danger. There was a serious accident and so she looked for help. If it was a white, five-foot-four, unarmed teenager, do you think she would be dead?
so i am a queer russian yes hello i am here to tell you in vague emotional details about why fckh8 sending those colouring books is a really bad idea
okay, so, first off: it isn’t going to help anyone. actually this is the biggest reason they shouldn’t send…
