Amid a culture-war storm that has hit several American companies in recent weeks, including Bud Light and Target, LGBTQ+ rights advocates and anti-trans activists are now focusing on Walmart's approach to the debate and putting the company's marketing strategy under increased scrutiny.
After calls to boycott Target over its trans-friendly products—part of its Pride season's collection—the American retailer announced on Tuesday that it was removing some items in its Pride collection.
The decision was seen as a small victory by anti-trans activists, which have appeared galvanized by the retailer's move and eager to put another company that sells Pride-related merchandise—Walmart—under the same amount of scrutiny.
"We've backed #Target into a corner for selling #Pride merch in the children's section. Now we go for #Walmart. These woke companies need to know that enough is enough. Not ONE MORE F****** DAY. They're NOT GETTING our kids," tweeted one user on Wednesday.

Guess the Walmart elite are not in tune with their customers.

GOOD
Who puts these companies under fire? Somer tweet bots?
More sickness. More evil.
It’s time we stood up to those alphabet nazi bullies!
I don’t shop either store, and they can both blow away in the wind, for all I care.
Why am I not surprised? Walmart is an abomination against God and Man.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Observe Memorial Day, celebrate Independence Day. Fight for freedom every day.
Seems, at this point at least, that Target figured out that putting the 99.98% of their customers who are NOT into this ‘Pride’ crap ahead of the 0.02% of their customers who ARE into this ‘Pride’ crap might just give them an advantage in sales.
Boys and Girls: That is EXACTLY why you should strive for your children to get an MBA from Harvard.
I work for Kohl’s and so far I haven’t seen any LGBQT merchandise. But I work a Kohl’s in a very conservative county and nothing like that would sell here.
Why can’t they just sell clothes. Do they feel compelled to sell clothes for perverts and gender-confused??? I’m tired of mega sickos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion...
for some companies means that...
they can exclude most of their customers’ desires and needs.
That’s capitalism being sacrificed for the sake of woke.
There was a time when, the old-style video stores would put their x-rated videos in a room by themselves. Perhaps that’s what the stores need if they are going to cater to the LBTBQ crowd. Imagine a separate room labeled “LGTBQ Only”. At least then the majority of customers would not be alienated.
All the brick and mortar stores I've loved over the years have either gone out of business, or have gone woke.
OMG
The link to the Walmart page includes products from retailers other than Walmart. Use the filter to see only products from Walmart as the retailer and you will see less products.
I prefer my local farm and fleet.
they have clothing and everything :)

Sounds okay adorno but these retail stores are catering their wares to children. Is there a back room for that?
Are there really anti-trans activists? I personally don’t care about trans people, I am not against them. I will treat them with respect and courtesy to their face and only very quietly talk about them behind their back. I only have a concern about children, some of whom are my grandchildren. I don’t know what they will become when they grow up but I want them to grow up first.
A good friend of mine had his son suddenly and turn out to be a girl. He was surprised as hell and probably confused but as a liberal he has to respect the choice. He doesn’t talk about it very much. I don’t think kids are having sudden epiphanies, my first silently-thought question was what was his stepfather like?
I have had to speak with trans people mostly men become more feminine. They do the hormones and get booblets but they don’t get pretty. It probably sucks to want something like that and have to be satisfied with what is possible which sure in the hell isn’t very much. But I am not anti-them I am more not really going to spend any time thinking about it.
I strongly believe that there is a movement that is about redefining sexuality and making it acceptable for younger and younger people. There have been child molesters forever and some cultures routinely exploit younger males of their populations. I think there are a lot people who would be child molesters if they weren’t afraid. This is the power of deterrence. Same as the death penalty versus murderers.
I’m not apologizing for Walmart, but I could only find one Pride related book available in-store, at least here in Alabama, but there are quite a few available to order online from third party sellers.
The one I found available in store wasn’t a drag queen book, just a general Pride book, but is listed for ages 2 - 4. There is no reason kids that young need to hear a book like that.
