For those new or recently returned to SS:
pb has identified a "three-headed monster" that is destroying the woke trans political agenda and trans ideology...and it is!
1. Old-school Title IX feminists.
2. Anti-TQ LGB groups and activists. And,
3. Mommies and daddies and nannas and pappaps who merely want to raise their kids without government intrusion...or, what po calls "fascistic and disgusting" "MAGA Republican" "Christian theocrats."
pb's been patiently awaiting the approach of LGBTQIA2+ Pride Month 024 to see how it goes.
Well, gang, the early returns are in.
Target to reduce number of stores carrying Pride-themed merchandise after last year’s backlash
NEW YORK (AP) — Target confirmed Friday that it won’t carry Pride Month merchandise at all stores in June after the discount retailer experienced a backlash and lower sales over its collection honoring LGBTQ+ communities.
Kelley Robinson, president of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Human Rights Campaign, said Target’s decision was disappointing and risks alienating LGBTQ+ individuals and allies at the risk of not only profits, but also their values.
Last year, Target removed some items from its stores and made other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride Month after intense reaction from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays. Target also moved displays to the back of its stores in certain Southern locations last year.
Target’s latest moves are just another example of how companies are struggling to cater to different groups of customers at a time of extreme cultural divisions, particularly around transgender rights. Last year, beer brand Bud Light angered some customers with its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Clearly, Target has learned that foisting LGBTQIA2+ pride on children is bad business and considered to be grooming by tens of millions of American consumers.
And, gang, it's not MAGA homophobes who got pi$$ed last year. GAG, i.e., Gays Against Groomers is a leading force in the so-called backlash. GAG formed less than two years ago and now has waaaaaaaaaay over 400k subscribers on X.
