Walmart Under Fire for LGBTQ+ Merchandise After Target Retreats
Newsweek ^ | 5.24.2023 | Giulia Carbonaro

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.

Walmart.com is kinda like Amazon.com — pretty much anyone can sell their stuff through the Walmart website.

“Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.”

“Seven deadly sins” isn’t Biblical. It was invented by some Pope — Greg, maybe.

Pride is a sin, along with hundreds of others.

Walmart owners in Arkansas glad handed Bill and Hillary Clinton, their fellow Arkansas Dogpatch denizens in the race for Governor and then President.

As a Director, Clinton Moved Wal-Mart Board....
The New York Times
May 20, 2007 — Walton turned to a young lawyer who just happened to be married to the governor of Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is based: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, however, seems to think that voters will be horrified to learn of Alice Walton’s support for Clinton.

Deceased founder Sam Walton is rolling over in his grave. Same for Walt Disney. Everything has gone to hell in one generation.

Reagan warned us.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Why not add DIY home sterilization kits to their accessory merchandise? Let’s end this sick generation. ASAP.

At least one of the photos of this merchandise in the paper edition of today’s NY Post was more shocking than the ones shown at that link.

My local Walmart had a display in the aisle featuring pride crap for several weeks. All the pride crap vanished on Monday. The store manager pulled it on his own.

Kohls stock is up.


Sales are down 7% at Kohl’s but they have a superb inventory management system which keeps costs down. Also their association with Amazon returns and Sephora doesn’t hurt.

,I>Sounds okay adorno but these retail stores are catering their wares to children. Is there a back room for that?

Well, that there points to the solution to the problem. Putting the wares in a back room would be the solution, but if the stores insist on putting the LGBTQ stuff around the kids' area, then, it becomes clear to everyone that the intentions of the stores and the LGTBQ community are to harm children.

Farm and Fleet is a store my wife and I have really enjoyed.

It is much better than Tractor Supply.
