(Minnesota Democrat) AG Ellison urges Target to reinstate Pride merchandise, offers to help counter anti-LGBTQIA+ harassment

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, along with 14 other state attorneys general, has penned a letter to Target's CEO, urging the company to reconsider its decision to remove Pride-themed merchandise from its stores amid an organized backlash from anti-LGBTQIA+ groups.

Last month, Target pulled the items following incidents of individuals confronting store employees and damaging Pride displays. The company cited employee safety as the reason for the decision, which drew criticism from LGBTQIA+ advocates who argued the move capitulated to intimidation, a sentiment echoed in the attorneys generals' letter.
