Retailers See Gay Population as Next Audience to Court
Retailers are becoming a lot less closeted.
They are turning their attention to gays and lesbians, a group that wields substantial buying power but isn't fully integrated into mainstream advertising. Similar to other moves to attract different minority groups, the push comes with risks, as it could threaten the retailers' relationships with some of their longtime shoppers.
Nonetheless, from J.C. Penney Co.'s (JCP) high-profile hiring of openly gay television personality Ellen DeGeneres as its spokeswoman to Target Corp.'s (TGT) selling of same-sex greeting cards, retailers are testing ways to cozy up to a community that by one estimate is as many as 16 million strong and has almost double the disposable income of the average American, some $49,000 per capita versus $26,000.

Its wierd that J. C. Penny's first initials are the sam as Jesus Christs. Jesus Christ's teachngs in life are priceless, yet J. C. Penney's are not worth even 2 penneys.

when you suck up to less than 4% of the population.. The same 4% that does a very good job of pissing off the other 96% of said population....
Your sales nose dive.
Duh..
-----------------------------------------------------
Why can’t these people just sell stuff and leave the social indoctrination to the activists?
Oh, I forgot. The activists are running the companies. And the news media. And the schools.
--------------------------------------------------
So 1-2 percent of the human race is a large enough group to sell out for?
So you pick up even 100% of them and you lose 1% of the other 98-99% of the human race and this makes sense to retailers?
IDIOTS..............
-----------------------------------------------
I go to a store to buy a product at a fair price. I do not go to a store to learn about diversity or financially support a company’s political correctness.
If your store just oozes rainbows, it better be either a religious book store or a baby nursery themed outlet.
If I see guy/guy models, rainbow kerchiefs and ladies holding hands, you might as well put spiked dog collars and dildos in the window to complete the picture.
At which point, I retch just a little and walk on by.
