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.

Not sure what “LGBTQ products” are.

If they just lived their lives without asking for all sorts of attention, no one would know what they are.

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

I was just in Target Saturday and noticed none of this. Maybe because I’m in North Dakota and they know better.

Or maybe it’s not in all stores yet because Pride month isn’t until June??

people cannot stick to boycotts. Over time people backslide.
Original boycott was letting trans men into women’s restrooms, so they changed them to “family” restrooms. Name change was enough for some. Target should have never been let off the mat. I’m boycotting Target for other reasons, this just helps me dig in more.

I asked a less politically active gay guy why gays did so many insane things to draw attention. (We were not being observed at the time.) He waved his hands in the air, pranced a bit and said, “lookatmelookatmelookatme. That’s it in a nutshell.”

These companies are stupid. While trying to lure perverts into their stores, they
piss off the 99% who don’t support this crap.

Target has been unfriendly to a large % of American shoppers for at least a decade.

A decade ago this coming Thanksgiving, my wife had finally retired as an RN and planned on hosting our family’s Thanksgiving dinner instead of being a guest.

She went to our local Targets to buy decorative Thanksgiving stuff to decorate our home and for our table/dining room.

She was informed that Target really didn’t carry a lot of Thanksgiving stuff as it wasn’t a major holiday for them.

However, they would be having big sales in their stores on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Then, my group of church/Salvation Army Bell ringers were informed that we could no longer ring the bells at the Target stores entrances.

A California grocery chain allowed us to ring the bell at their two stores in our town. Walmart told us, we could have ringers at the entry door and their exit door.

After that, Target opened its restrooms to who or whatever.

My wife said no more Target for her and her friends.

I remember when “gender fluid” meant you needed a trip to the doctor for a penicillin shot…
