#FoxNews is now criticizing #Target for supporting #LGBTQ group GLSEN. Founded in 1990, GLSEN focuses on ending bullying and discrimination against LGBTQ kids in schools. The thing is, #Fox corporation itself has supported GLSEN and its mission.
And just on a personal note, I used to go to the #GLSEN office once or twice a week during my senior year in high school in the mid-aughts. Nothing they do is new or scary. Just a new bogeyman.
