Target is really aiming (hardy har) to get on our good side these days!

Though higher ups at the bulls-eye insist the new line of Pride t-shirts has zilch to do with that massive 2010 donation to anti-gay politico Tom Emmer, with 100 percent of sales going to the Family Equality Council, would criticizing the retailer nowadays just be splitting hairs?

Today, a little over a year after Target lost its case against a pro-marriage equality group for canvassing outside a San Diego store, the bullseye retailer announced big news: a drool worthy line of home products from gay designer Nate Berkus will debut exclusively with the retailer this fall.

But with that huge $150,000 donation funding anti-gay causes still seared in our Mary minds (and the company's less than satisfactory handling of the resulting PR nightmare), are gays ready to celebrate the just-announced gay partnership?

Guess it's too soon for Target.

The bulls-eye retailer has pulled a lame-at-best jokey card using Whitney Houston as a punchline after learning it was sold on store shelves.

Having lost their battle against Ellen and JC Penney, the American Family Association side-project One Or Two One Million Moms has set a new (and unsurprising) target in its sight: the innuendo-laden Liquid Plumr ad that inspired us to take two "personal days" last week. Details follow.

Not to be a total buzzkill, but hate organization the Florida Family Association's recent pats on its own back for what it has claimed as "victories" in an anti-gay campaign against advertisers of Degrassi may be falsely generated. A hate group hateful man—it's been revealed that FFA's ranks are filled entirely by one man acting alone—making inaccurate claims about its anti-gay success? Well that's a first!

Dear AFA, attack the politics and the media, if that makes you feel better. Attack HRC, the Task Force, even attack GLAAD, because they are built to take your lies and hate. But to attack an organization that has saved the lives of countless youth is shameful and pathetic! Details after the jump.

Sure, we would have preferred that it was a different store, but we have to admit that David Beckham's hidden camera stint for Ellen is pretty entertaining. Check out the video after the jump.

In her first English-language album since 2003, and one that's up-tempo and a throw back to her dance roots, it doesn't seem like this exclusive partnership is such a good idea for the gay community—long loyal to Gloria and her dance music. Gloria, you have some 'splaining to do!
