Target holds 'emergency' meeting over LGBTQ merchandise in some stores to avoid ‘Bud Light situation
Foxnews ^

FIRST ON FOX – Some southern Target stores were forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ Pride merchandise away from the front of their locations after customer "outrage" to avoid a "Bud Light situation." Many Target locations across the country feature massive June Pride month displays on an annual basis, with items this year ranging from "tuck friendly" bathing suits for transgender people to mugs that say "gender fluid." But the retail juggernaut has been criticized by some conservatives for the displays, with children’s items particularly irking many customers. A Target insider told Fox News Digital that many locations, mostly in rural areas of the south, have relocated Pride sections to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks after using a transgender influencer in a promotional campaign.

We walked into one last week because I had found a target gift card while riding my bicycle a while back and it still had money on it.

First thing we saw when we walked in was a display of gay and trans T shirts.

I agree most people don’t care what they do but they insist on pushing it in everyone’s face.......just like the homosexuals used to do.

Target needs to go the way of bed bath and begone......and right soon would be fine with me.

“lookatmelookatmelookatme. That’s it in a nutshell.”

He was, of course, dead on. The vast majority of this crap is nothing more than an extremely sick case of narcissism; belly—button gazing of the highest, and most putrid, order. The entire world must be made to revolve, or stop revolving if I say so, around my bizarre behavior. I have known enough of these people well enough to be very confident about this.

We were too. Right inside the door full on in your face pride display. If we didnt have a gift card to burn, we wouldnt have been there.

“they piss off the 99% who don’t support this crap.”

Not 99%, we’re actually a minority now. And the percentage of people under 30 who object to rainbow-themed merchandise is very low.

Too little too late. Go make money off the outliers of your customer base. Good luck with that.

According to Glenn Beck there are swimsuits with “tuck” pockets so little boys can tuck their junk and pretend they are little girls. Also some satanic imagery, I believe. The designer of such has bragged about creating products that can be eased into the view of kids, opening the way for doubt, questioning, experimentation.

Real sick s**t.

Yikes
Target has gone completely woke. They’re now selling tucking and binding clothing for little kids.

With any justice it will already be too late.

I’d be really happy to see them and their overpriced chicom junk disappear. Waddlemart with a markup.

If you have something to “tuck” then you’re a dude.

They need to “relocate the Pride displays” and merchandise into a dumpster and fire upon any idiot that ordered it.

Then they need to clearly designate XX and XY restrooms, and trespass anyone who uses the wrong restroom.

Then they need to loudly and publicly abjure their former support of perversion.

I agree, that’s crazy.

It’s a huge step away from normality. Previously it was just ordinary merchandise with rainbow colors.

Target is facing a consumer boycott over its Pride Month collection which features transgender swimsuits for children, books called ‘bye bye binary’ and a handful of items made by a British designer whose slogans include ‘Satan respects pronouns.’

I wish they would have had this crap when I was a kid. We would have had great fun buying “tuck bathing suits” and other fag apparel for our friends as gags. “Hey, Dude. Why aren’t you wearing your rainbow shirt that I bought you? Anyone ready for swimming?”

I don’t think he is far from the truth.

Stores know what sells in their area. The stores in your area know this crap won’t sell much, but that store will be forced to have to take a minimal amount sooner or later.

The manager will probably put it somewhere not real noticeable and hope it goes away. Like in the back in a high theft area.

I was in a Target the other day and saw their gay display. I took some of the items and put them one the Bud Light cases of beer that no one was buying.

Yeah, unfortunately poll after poll, survey after survey show what I said. They aren’t all so biased in their sample selection or methodology that they’re completely wrong.
