Target under fire for 'sexualizing Christmas for children' with 'pride Santa' decorations

Mega retail chain Target is under fire for 'sexualizing' Christmas with a LGBTQ+holiday decoration line that features 'Pride Santa' and a 'Pride Christmas Nutcracker' Figurine.

The 'Fabriche Pride Santa' features St. Nicholas holding the rainbow Pride Flag, the symbol of the LGBTQ community, bearing the slogan 'Love is Love' on his white shirt with rainbow suspenders.

A wooden Nutcracker figurine - dressed in a blue and white jacket with rainbow lapels, a rainbow hat and holding a 'progress flag' - is also part of the 2023 holiday collection.

The items are available for sale on the company's website despite the widespread backlash the store received when Pride items were sold earlier this year.

Some shoppers who were snapping up the LGBTQ decor online praised Target for being 'inclusive,' with some adding that the store was offering a 'good mix of Christmas and pride,' while others commented how 'affordable' it was.

Last week Fox News host Jesse Watters spoke about the LGBTQ holiday merchandise on his show claiming it was 'sexualizing Christmas for children.'

His guest Riley Gaines, a former competitive swimmer who campaigned against the participation of trans women in women's sports, echoed the same sentiment asking why 'they keep pushing this? Who are they trying to appeal to?

She added, in part, 'this doesn't represent the overwhelming majority of this country, really how the world, feels on this issue.'

Those miscreants who run the company deserve to be thrown into the sea

Those who run this company, the miscreants, are mostly recent graduates from US colleges. The communists at those colleges trained these miscreants...

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

I read somewhere that Putin released thousands of women from the gulags just so they could get pregnant.

“Where the hell are the stockholders?”

Woke Mega Funds are the stock holders. Until everyday folks stop sending their IRA / 401K accounts to them it will not change.

Here they are, BlackRock and Vanguard are seriously woke.

Vanguard, State Street Corp, Capital World Investors, BlackRock Inc
