http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-target-gay-marriage-20140806-story.htmlTarget Corp. publicly endorsed gay marriage for the first time, joining a number of other companies that have taken a side on the issue.
The Minneapolis retailer said it signed an amicus brief in support of same-sex marriage for a pending court case, the company revealed in a Tuesday blog post. Many corporations, including Apple, Starbucks, EBay and Google, have expressed support for marriage rights for all.
Jodee Kozlak, Target's chief human resources officer, said states that ban gay marriage create problems for national organizations seeking to provide competitive benefits to all employees.
"It is our belief that everyone should be treated equally under the law, and that includes rights we believe individuals should have related to marriage," she wrote in the blog post.
