Target is being held hostage by an anti-LGBTQ campaign
CNN Business ^ | 5/25/23 | Nathaniel Meyerson

During every Pride Month in June for the past decade, Target has sold merchandise for LGBTQ customers, employees and allies. But this year, Target faced an anti-LGBTQ campaign that went viral on social media.

Fueled by far-right personalities and on social media platforms, the anti-trans campaign spread misleading information about the company’s Pride Month products and its business practices.

Hurting brands’ sales and reputations was the stated goal of the campaign: “The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands,” said right-wing commentator Matt Walsh on Twitter. “If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain.”

Really held hostage?

This guy probably thinks the George Floyd riots were peaceful, despite the billions of dollars damage done to innocent businesses, and innocent lives lost.

They are hearing from Customers.
Last time I checked, Americans can shop anywhere they want.
CNN would know this if they ever bothered to ask why no one watches them anymore.

That’s like saying smart folks hold stupid people back. So let’s give everyone with an IQ over 100 a lobotomy, for intellectual justice ya know.

Since CNN bullship wrote about it, we can be sure Target is hurting, as was our intention. Make them feel it.

We are not anti lgbthorseship. We are against the fascism that accompanies the “movement” and the targeting of children.

Well, it’s about time.

Target, AB, and Ford need to be the first to fall.

I’m so old I remember when the LGBTQWERTY lobby promised us it wasn’t about the kids. Now they act surprised when we’re protecting the kids.

Be like Alex Stein. Go to Target and try on the suit. Waltz around customers and talk about how great the pocket is.

So, simply not doing business with them is “holding them hostage”? That is some serious Pretzel Logic.

Amazing how media never refers to the “far left”. They can get bent and they’re afraid now that there’s finally some push back against this garbage.

You usually think of some sort of organized “campaign”. You an push J6 persecution and the elections down our throat but when you expect us to accept eating bugs, gay beer, and all sorts of previsions in our moral bringing some are bound to rebel. This county was established on a rebellion against taxes and injustices.

I’m not aware of any specific “campaign” against the pervs, just a general revulsion of their lifestyles being shoved down our throats along with their putrid attempts at grooming children to join their ranks.

Crying Wolf a bit quickly now, aren’t they?
