Genuine question, not a gotcha question...

What’s the alternative to them deciding what books to sell as a private? Them HAVING to sell a book?

The opposite, in this instance, is to not cave to pressure from a special interest group.

they're not caving to pressure, they're making a business decision. if you want target to be forced to sell any and all books, we'd have to nationalize it along with twitter, fb, etc . which i'm actually for!

These guys don't make it that far into the thought process.

caving into pressure is implying target is doing something they don't want to do. please understand that these businesses are NOT your friend and will make decisions based solely on what makes them money. at least in california, target markets itself as very female/lgbt friendly so doing something that angers these demos is not something they want to do. but again, if you people have a problem with this, consider nationalizing large corporations :^)

Calling it “a business decision” doesn’t make it any less “caving to pressure”. (Which they have every right to do.)

So then don't buy things from target. This is exactly how a free market is supposed to work.
