Every Friday after school, for the last year and a half, Alastor and Angelo would head to the city cemetery. Alastor used to go on his own, Angelo only coming when his mom didn’t need him to help with chores. Since his mother’s passing, he had no reason to go home anymore. They both would pack extra lunches, walking hand in hand to the grave markers. Lilly-Anne LeBlanc side by side with Maria Rose Ragni. Both the boys sat down and pulled out their food. Each laying an extra sandwich down on their own mother’s graves.
Angelo smiled softly. Silently saying his usual prayer. If there was a god, he better take damn good care of his ma. Angelo knew, if the scriptures were true, his mother probably hadn’t gone to heaven, but hoped they would make an exception for her…
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.
people didnt know how Pro-LGBT Target is. I will always shop there
It features the voices of Richard Horvitz, Erica Lindbeck, Brock Baker, and Brandon Rogers so if the fun looking demons hadn’t convinced you yet, maybe these name drops will haha. Keep in mind though that it’s an adult comedy cartoon :D
I got to do animation and clean up for it and it was so much fun to work on and be surrounded by so many skilled animators!
