And they are pretty much getting it wrong
Target is being held hostage by an anti-LGBTQ campaign
During every Pride Month in June for the past decade, Target has sold merchandise for LGBTQ customers, employees and allies. But this year, Target faced an anti-LGBTQ campaign that went viral on social media.
Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices.
Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign: “The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands,” said right-wing commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter. “If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain.”
The campaign became hostile, with threats levied against Target employees and instances of damaged products and displays in stores.
That effectively held Target hostage: The company was forced to make an impossible choice to either safeguard its employees and stores or continue to support customers who wanted to buy the products it was selling.
Weirdly, no one really can state specific instances of threats of violence or damage. Where are the videos? Anyhow, that’s how most of the articles go, when the whole issue came to light when someone noticed all the trans material, especially “tuck friendly” swimwear for children, which the media is now claiming was only for adults.
Just popped into a Target in Arlington, and apparently this is not the south! The infamous “tuck friendly” swimsuit was front and center in the display, despite the AP’s recent bs fact check that this didn’t exist. pic.twitter.com/VXxf1Dni0X

There are also lots of trans clothing, including ones with slogans, for children. The displays aren’t really about celebrating gays and lesbians for pride month (I noticed a similar display for black history month at the Knightdale Target the other month, didn’t think much of it), but, the gender confused. I must have missed the same type of displays for Latino and Asian months.
The media is also complaining this is most just the South. If so, then why
Target shares hit amid Pride merchandising controversy
Target shareholders are feeling the backlash underway at the retailer as controversy swirls over its Pride merchandising plans, as first reported by Fox News Digital.
Shares slipped 2.7% on Wednesday and have dropped more than 9% this month, with 6% of that decline this week alone, as tracked by Dow Jones Market Data Group. That amounts to $4.2 billon in market value.
Over the same time frame, the S&P 500 has dropped just over 1%.
Adding fuel to the fire, the retailer’s Gay Pride collection has been linked to a controversial designer: Abprallen’s Erik Carnell, who is an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like “Satan respects pronouns” on brand apparel, Fox News Digital reported separately.
These companies which go Woke never seem to pay attention to what happened to others. Patronizing a group, then turning the amp up to 11, never helps, especially when you’re annoying the rest of your target (sic) audience. Target would have been fine with the lesbian and gay stuff (do they really wear different stuff?), but, the gender confused, especially for kids, was just too far.
Our nuCon brothers and sisters have become such snowflakes!
How dare Target force you to wear rainbow shirts!!! Oh, they’re not forcing you to buy and wear clothing you don’t like?
But they are forcing you to acknowledge that LGBTQ people are people and exist, right? Oh, they’re not?
We get it. You’re offended because some people don’t live their lives as you command. Boo hoo.
What was Jesus’ position on gays, lesbians and transgendered?
Why would you care, you’re no Christian?
But so you know Jesus’ position IS that The Father created two sexes, man and woman. You can read His position on faggots and dykes by reading about Sodom and Gomorrah. There are no transgendered, it’s a scientific impossibility to “decide” to be another sex. In fact it’s a mental illness. Even if you’re mutilated and dosed with hormones you will always have those pesky chromosomes as long as you live.
Most of the people you loosers refer to as transsexuals are nothing more than low class mental cross dressers. Especially those filthy diseased creatures like Rue Paul etc.
Why would I care? Because some of my fellow but horribly bigoted citizens are harassing, persecuting and doing worse to other Americans. Why do you hate them so?
Let’s be honest, for whatever reason “God” didn’t seem to know any more about science than the stone age goatherders who recorded “His” words. No quantum mechanics, no dinosaurs, no atomic bombs, Buddhism, etc.
How do you BELIEVE America should deal with these Americans you slur as faggots and dykes and diseased creatures? Should they not have civil rights?
And god damn it, loser = one who loses; looser = less tight
What did JESUS have to say about faggots, dykes and trannies? Or human sacrifice? If Jesus hated faggots, dykes and trannies as much conservative “Christians” do why didn’t he emphasize it?
The Jesus I grew up loving rarely slurred anyone although he certainly had differences with the Pharisees, money changers, sellers of animals for sacrifice, business in the temple, saying “ye have made it a den of thieves!” Those dang Pharisees thought they were superior to all the others because of their position and ‘faith’!
Perhaps God is using your hatred of faggots, dykes and trannies to reward them!
Have you asked Jesus for guidance on how to deal with your hatred of faggots, dykes and trannies?
“Satan-worshipping trans babies may be unable to find clothing if Target pulls pride displays”….
You’re dumber than even I believed…
Nope, not me-the Babylon Bee
When did hatred become the prime directive of MAGA-Christianity?
You are a Satanist and non believer using and twisting Gods Word to your own designs. Nothing you say should be believed. You quoting the Bible or talking about Christians is an insult which is why you do it, I’m sure. You are a communist and a hateful anti Christian bigot so your use of the Bible, God, Jesus or any other Christian related topic is valueless.
If you hadn’t made your hate of Christians such a mainstay of your anti American/God rants for the last five years maybe you could fool us. Sorry but no.
Aside from the fact that a real Christian would never berate another and never use the Word of God for politics.
Any man who cannot accept the ineluctable reality of biological differences (between the sexes, amongst the races, etc.) cannot be reasoned with nor trusted. Similarly a person who tries to use God when he does not believe in Him could only be called a liar. You are a LIAR!
CarolAnn,
I’ve been married 51 years to a devout Christian.
What I want to know is how a so-called conservative Christian justifies their intense hatred of and cruelty toward, others.
Can a non-Christian be a legitimate American?
If, as you and others like you claim, LGBTQ people are mentally ill, why do you hate them and call them vile names? Shouldn’t you be compassionate for the unfortunate?
Do you have evidence that Jesus hated people who were ill?
Teach you told us that you would no longer shop target after their bathroom holocaust
Rimjob and johnnie boy sure loves them some trannies.
We see why they’re upset.

Bwaha! Lolgf

Target went to encouraging child mutilation with their products and suppliers. The Tranny perverts in the women’s restrooms was bad enough.
Target encourages male circumcision? – the most widespread of all childhood mutilations?? They should mind their own fizzucking business.
The perverts are the ones who equate bodily eliminations with sexual gratification.
So Rimjob equates circumcision with mutilation. Good to know.
You are weird in every sense of the term, chubby.

“In an unprecedented attack on human rights, Target moves pride displays back 20 feet”.
“I actually wish transgendered women could get periods. That would end this bullshit movement within about 28 days…”
