'Target deserves the Bud Light treatment': Retailer faces backlash for promoting trans-friendly slogans on T-shirts for kids and gender-neutral clothing in its Pride collection
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 11, 2023 | Harriet Alexander

Consumers are being urged to boycott Target in response to their Pride collection for children, with one activist group accusing the retailer of 'indoctrinating and grooming' young people, calling it 'highly inappropriate and disturbing.'

One former Target customer said the company 'deserves the Bud Light treatment' - a reference to the boycott sparked by Bud Light's decision to partner with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The disastrous marketing decision wiped $6 billion off the value of the company and saw sales plummet.

Target has supported Pride - celebrated throughout the month of June - every year since 2013.

This year's collection features a range of clothes and home goods, including lime green adult romper suits with the word 'gay' on the back; a 'Live Laugh Lesbian' t-shirt; and a mug emblazoned with the words: 'Gender Fluid'.

It was the collection for children, however, that sparked anger.

The Minneapolis-based company is selling T-shirts for children with the slogan: 'Trans People Will Always Exist!'

It is offering rainbow-striped tutus for toddlers for $13, and $10 baby gros which read: 'Bien Proud'.

The activist group Gays Against Groomers led the outrage.

'This is what you will find in the kid's section of @Target,' they tweeted.

'We urge you to take your business elsewhere. They are indoctrinating and grooming them with LGBTQ ideology. It is highly inappropriate and disturbing.'

The group, founded last year in Wisconsin by Jaimee Michell, says it lobbies 'against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of 'LGBTQIA+'.'

I used to shop there. Their quality was good and their selection was very good.

And then they decided that guys in dresses needed to use the women's bathroom.

I dropped them like a hot rock.

That was ten or so years ago.

Yep, me too. When they started allowing cross dressing men in the ladies bathrooms, I quit going there. Not that I went or shopped there too often before that anyway.

As did I. If some tranny dude follows my little granddaughter into the bathroom, this grandad will go mid-evil on the MAN. I would probably get arrested. I have not been in Target since they started this idiocy.

Can’t boycott the same company twice.

One of the results of the earlier boycott is that the remainder of Target’s customers are more friendly to trans nonsense.

From what I hear, BlackRock is behind all these corporations becoming “woke.” If they want any loans from BlackRock, they have to tow the ESG line. My questions are:

1) Why does a corporation selling products need a loan in the first place? Don’t they make any profits?

2) Who TF is Larry Fink and who made him God?
