Target SLAMMED Over ‘Gay Nutcracker’ Christmas Decorations
mrctv ^ | 11/18/2023

arget is under fire once again - this time for selling LGBTQ+ styled Christmas decorations. And conservatives are NOT having it.

One of the new items on the chain's inventory is a 2023 nutcracker decoration which features the nutcracker in a jacket with a pride flag running down the middle, a pride flag hat, and a pride flag in his hand. I say “his” hand loosely, as the statue also has pink hair, eyeshadow, and feminine eyelashes. Perhaps he's a drag queen as well.

Another new item this year is a Christmas snow globe with a rainbow heart in the middle and the phrase “love is love” in the center.

Target also recently collaborated with an artist named Kurt S. Adler, whose creations include more gay nutcrackers, a pride drinking glass ornament, a 10-inch fabergé Pride Santa, and a pride picture frame ornament.

These people never learn or just don’t care. So continue to boycott and hit them where it hurts.

Target could point out that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the composer of the Nutcracker, was a poofter.

At the Outer Banks of NC, we have a large Target that recently opened earlier this year. They did very well during tourist season, Memorial thru Labor days. Would be interesting ti see what happens off season.

Kind of strange to be associating LGBTQ* with Christmas when that group by and large believes Christians are more evil than Hamas.

When I need to pick up anything at Lowe’s I have to drive past the main entrance of the local Target. It has STOP signs all over the place to allow Target customers a chance to cross the street to enter the store while drivers have to wait for them. So you get a real good look at who these customers really are. It is mainly females of all stripes and illegal alien-looking family groups. I think very few of them if any even have a clue what is happening to this country. All they care about is getting their stuff. Room temperature IQ consumers. I used to yell at the women going in with their daughters to not allow their kid to use the restroom, and they would look at me and tell me to GF myself. I kid you not.

Yep. Target stock has lost half its value in the last 2 years and that's a very big deal.

I can't for the life of me understand why Target would try to kill itself just to virtue signal to the gay community. If Target had just said, "We don't discriminate against gays" and left it at that, I don't think anyone (customers, that is) would have cared. But they kept shoving their gay-friendly attitude down their customers' throats and that's a big problem. No one wants to be lectured to, particularly by a store they do business with.

As an aside, the gay market isn't big enough to support a store the size of most Target stores. That should have been easy for management to figure out. In that vein, I think there will be tons of law suits for board and management malfeasance in the near future...against Target and lots of other public companies.

He had a relationship with his nephew?
That’s even sicker.

Target is still in business? I’ve not set foot in one since Target went all in on welcoming men into the women’s restrooms. I’m surprised they’re still hanging on.

Cultural appropriation refers to the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of another culture. This can include fashion, music, art, and even language. It’s important to be mindful of the origins and significance of these cultural elements and to show respect and appreciation for the cultures they come from. It’s also important to avoid exploiting or misrepresenting these elements for personal gain or profit. is the inappropriate or unacknowledged adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity.

It’s important to assimilate and leave their culture behind if they choose to move into a different culture.

The only reason I go to Target is to leave all the toilet seats up in the women’s restroom.
