More than 200 LGBTQ groups are demanding Target restock its controversial Pride merchandise and take a stand against 'extremists' within 24 hours.
The Human Rights Campaign, along with GLAAD and the controversial GLSEN released a statement Monday, asking the retail giant and other businesses, including Bud Light brewer Anheuser-Bush, to 'reject and speak out against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism going into Pride Month.'
Over 200 other progressive organizations also signed the statement, arguing that showing support for the community is good for business. It is not clear what action the coalition will take if Target fails to back the LGBTQ+ community within 24 hours.
But Target has lost $14 billion in market value since it was revealed that the chain was selling 'tuck-friendly' women's bathing suits and Anheuser-Busch lost more than $15 billion since TikToker Dylan Mulvaney posted an ad for Bud Light in early April.
It comes as Stephen Miller's America First Legal is demanding Target turn over all corporate books and records detailing its promotion of LGBTQ products and its decline in market value.
As conservatives and moderates started to boycott Target last month, several stores in the South decided to move their Pride displays to smaller areas in the back.
CEO Brian Cornell also released a statement saying that the company had pulled several items that have 'been at the center of the most confrontational behavior.'
'Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,' the firm said in its statement.
'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.'
But the decision spurred further backlash, this time by LGBTQ+ advocates.

(,,,because the perverts are never extremists)
Okay Target today is the day you get to choose who your customers are.
Families who shop at your store or ‘fashion-forward’ deviants who’d never be caught DEAD in your store?
Choose wisely.
Tell them to come by all that crap or stfu
Dump Target Stock now.
Targay is based in Minneapolis. What do the Somali rulers there say?
The other day we went to Target to pick up something for our daughter. It was empty and the staff was helpful. So, there is an upside to all this silliness.
Is there a great demand for women’s swimsuits, with extra room for a man who wears a woman’s swimsuit?
Maybe this is a niche product??
Target is required by the activists to have such a product, to prove they are inclusive and celebrate diversity? They must stock this product whether it sells or not???
Yes. Target is now targeted by both sides. Going to be glorious to watch the entire economy collapse because of this culture war.
Prepare now, folks.
More than 200
But it won’t work now IF we stand up to it.
Spent $240 this morning at Walmart that used to go to Target. The Walmart was just as pleasant as our old Target and the prices probably a little lower. It will be very instructive to see which customers Target management chooses to keep.
buy a roll of duct tape you freaks!!
Life is easier when you’re delusional.
I wonder how many actual members make up these 200 groups? How many members are also in other groups or all of them?
Shouldn’t be a tough choice for Target - either lose 10% of their customer base (the people who don’t want their kids groomed) or have to deal with a bunch of LGBs shooting up their stores (at least given their history).
Their choice.
Target better hope each of these 200 LGBTQ groups has $100,000,000 each to make up the difference.
Doubling down is always an option. Perhaps there are more Sodomite target customers than straight?
It’s amazing how these lunatics try and frame the narrative. If you’re against castrating children you’re now an extremist and they’re trying to paint themselves as mainstream. The world has truly gone mad.
200 lgbtq groups = 5 people with multiple Twitter accounts per person
Target performs BEST SELF-SCREWING EVER!
