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.”

Held hostage? Is that like what was done to North Carolina by PEO-LGBTQ people a few years ago?
CNN probably thinks all the viewers who abandoned them - because they suck - are holding them “hostage.”
Whenever lefties fail - because they suck - is because they victimize themselves and demonize people who don’t suck.
Leftwing corporate commiseration.
FU, CNN
As soon as target stops welcoming grown men into the little girls’ bathroom, we may return to patronizing the store again
Otherwise who needs it?
CNN playing typical crybully.
It’s like the machete wielding professor — Whitey made me do it! Sitting there peacefully advocating a position is violence!
Nathaniel Meyerson is a fool. Target can sell or not sell whatever they want.
It’s a free country.
Also WE can buy or not buy Target’s merchandise... because IT’S A FREE COUNTRY.
Does Nathaniel Meyerson want to pass a law forcing citizens to buy at Target? Is that his solution?
And as far as ‘death threats are concerned - those are the newest form of ‘fake hate crimes’... Grievance pity party groups use ‘fake death threats as a way to gather more pity for themselves... it’s a common left wing tactic. They call in the threats themselves.
“... I remember when the LGBTQWERTY lobby promised us it wasn’t about the kids.”
I don’t remember them making any promises. I do remember them deflecting with the old “that’s a slippery slope fallacy!” argument any time someone brought it up.
Target is being held hostage by an LGBTQ campaign
there, fixed it.
No.
Target went overboard this year, it was a rub your nose in it campaign and so- volley not hostage.
Capitalism, you silly man.
I can’t really help you. I was boycotting Target since the early 1990s when they sponsored pro-abortion groups, never mind the 2000s when they allowed pervs to go into girls dressing rooms. Target has been evil for a long time.
“Held hostage” means the left doesn’t like it when people vote with their wallets.
It seems odd that the alphabet denizens weep, wail, and whine about tactics they use daily.
“Far Right” is another term for “Sane”.
Staying neutral and not showing the LGBT agenda in the faces of customers is the equivalent of being held hostage?
Indeed.
I guess “Hostage” is the left’s new buzzword. The Republicans are holding the country “Hostage” in the debt ceiling negotiations. If you refuse to patronize a business because you disagree with their promotion of the LGBT agenda, you are holding that company “Hostage.”
More like captives of their own stupidity.
