No one cared when Target offered LGBTQ+ merchandise for adults… But when Target decided they wanted to be groomers and offer “tuck friendly” swimwear to girls, that’s when people had enough and started boycott. Target is a Minnesota based corporate, so as you would expect, they are playing victim after the backlash against girl’s “tuck friendly” swimwear became publicly known. Target is claiming they pulled some LGBTQ+ merchandise because of “threats” made against employees.
Yea, I don’t think so.. That’s a left wing tactic.. .Those of us on the right just boycott and don’t threaten people.
Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.
“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement Tuesday. ”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”
Target declined to say which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts. Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, have also created backlash.
The Pride merchandise has been on sale since early May. Pride month is held in June.
Target confirmed that it has moved its Pride merchandise from the front of the stores to the back in some Southern stores after confrontations and backlash from shoppers in those areas.
