Another Retail Store Is Facing a Boycott Over Pride Merchandise for Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even as Target takes a dive in stock prices for selling its pride-themed merchandise for children and babies, other companies aren’t quite getting the memo. There’s North Face, and now, Kohl’s. The store sells pride merchandise, including apparel for babies, online and in stores.

The products in question causing concern are still available on the website. A quick search of “Pride” items leads not only to a collection of relevant products matching that description, but pro-LGBT messages as well as promotions of the brands and designer that they partner with.

Target Shopper Tears Down Pride Sign as Fury Over LGBTQ Merch Spills Into Aisles (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Target shoppers fuming over the retailer’s LGBTQ merchandise — including “tuck-friendly” swimwear — have stormed some stores to tear down Pride signs, badger workers and even leave a case of Bud Light alongside the offending items.

The Minneapolis-based chain — which has lost $9 billion in the last week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing — has announced it will remove some of the offending items partly due to their workers’ safety fears.

The online fury spilling over into the aisles includes one MAGA hat-wearing provocateur who was filmed ripping down a “#TakePride” sign from a clothing rack of LGBTQ apparel.

Ethan Schmidt — a 24-year-old far-right internet personality who previously made headlines for his off-color remarks — is seen tossing the rainbow-colored sign to the floor before stomping on it and kicking it in the 19-second clip.

Another self-proclaimed patriot and activist, Scott LoBaido, filmed himself on Wednesday at a Staten Island Target location shouting: “Memorial Day weekend, where is the display supporting and showing homage to the men and women of the military?”

Shark Tank Star: Target’s Pride Merch Decision Was a ‘Huge Mistake’ After Losing Billions in Market Value

/5 Comments/in , /by

Entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary responded to Target’s Pride merchandising controversy after suffering a hit in market value and threats of boycotts.

O’Leary said that although Target wants to sell to everybody, its marketing decision to roll out the Pride merchandising line was a “huge mistake.”

“When Bud happened, I can’t believe that boards didn’t wake up to that decimation market cap… Budweiser was the American beer. It took decades to build that brand and they blew it up in 30 hours,” O’Leary told guest host Rachel Campos-Duffy on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

The “Shark Tank” star said companies like Bud Light and Target “cannot be partisan in any way” when selling consumer goods and services.

“Let me give you an example,” O’Leary said. “Do you ever hear a CEO that represents a company ever talking about abortion? Never. Because that is an issue that will never be resolved. It’s a personal issue, it’s a family issue, it’s a religious issue. It’s partisan forever. You don’t touch it. Same thing with politics, same thing with gender identity. Everybody has a personal opinion about it. When you actually get involved in a fight like that, you lose 50% of your constituency.” (Read more from “Shark Tank Star: Target’s Pride Merch Decision Was a ‘Huge Mistake’ After Losing Billions in Market Value” HERE)

Target Loses $10B in 10 Days After Boycott Calls Over LGBTQ-Friendly Kids Clothing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Target has lost $10 billion in market valuation over the last 10 days as the popular retailer continues to face backlash over its Pride-themed clothing line for children.

A week ago Wednesday, Target enjoyed its stock value at $160.96 a share, but following the calls to boycott the Minneapolis-based retailer over its “PRIDE” collection, the value plummeted and closed Friday at $138.93 a share.

The nearly 14% drop in value for the blue chip stock roughly translates to a $10.1 billion loss in valuation to just $64.2 billion for Target, which has nearly 2,000 stores nationwide.

The plummet stands as the retailer’s lowest stock price in nearly three years. The last time the company saw a drop nearly this big came in 2022 after the stocks equalized following an unprecedented surge during the COVID pandemic.

Target, which has been caught in the middle of America’s culture wars over gender, moved its Pride section in some Southern stores away from the front last week after it said displays were knocked over by protesters, who also confronted workers.

Newsom Has Liberal Meltdown After Target Removes Kids ‘Pride,’ Tuck-Friendly Gear From Stores

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following a mass backlash, Target pulled the plug on some of its LGBTQ gear aimed at indoctrinating children, infuriating the liberal Left.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) accused the store of unfairly attacking the transgender and gay “community,” criticizing Target CEO Brian Cornell for catering to protestors who condemned the woke line.

“CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage,” Newsom tweeted. “This isn’t just a couple of stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.”

The Democratic governor continued his meltdown, comparing the transgender movement to women and the Asian and Jewish communities.

“Wake up, America. This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman?” he said. “You’re next.”

Target Holds ‘Emergency’ Meeting Over LGBTQ Merchandise; Company Partners With SATANIST Brand for Pride Collection; Video Shows Disturbing ‘Tuck-Friendly’ Apparel in Children’s Aisle

/15 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Some Southern Target stores were forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ Pride merchandise away from the front of their locations after customer “outrage” to avoid a “Bud Light situation.”

Many Target locations across the country feature massive June Pride month displays on an annual basis, with items this year ranging from “tuck friendly” bathing suits for transgender people to mugs that say “gender fluid.”

But the retail juggernaut has been criticized by some conservatives for the displays, with children’s items particularly irking many customers.

A Target insider told Fox News Digital that many locations, mostly in rural areas of the South, have relocated Pride sections to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks after using a transgender influencer in a promotional campaign.

A Target insider said there were “emergency” calls on Friday and some managers and district senior directors were told to tamp down the Pride sections immediately. (Read more from “Target Holds ‘Emergency’ Meeting Over LGBTQ Merchandise” HERE)

Target Partners With Satanist Brand to Create Items for ‘Pride’ Collection

By National Review. Target has contracted with Abprallen — a clothing brand that sells Satanist merchandise, some of which glorifies violence — to create products for its “PRIDE” collection.

While Target does not sell Abprallen’s Satanist-inspired products, the retail giant approached Abprallen less than a year ago to design pride-related merchandise, according to the brand’s social-media post.

At one point Target sold three Abprallen items: a messenger bag saying “We Belong Everywhere” across trans-flag colors and planets, a tote bag with the message “Too Queer for Here” beneath a UFO, and a “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People” sweatshirt. Only the sweatshirt remains for sale. It’s unclear why the other two items no longer appear on the Target website. . .

The brand sells shirts, pins, and stickers with the design of a pastel goat head and the message “Satan Respects Pronouns.”

“Satan loves you and respects who you are; you’re important and valuable in this world and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect. LGBT+ people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God’s will, so fine. We’ll hang with Satan instead,” the company stated in another Instagram caption. “Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love.” (Read more from “Target Partners With Satanist Brand to Create Items for ‘Pride’ Collection” HERE)

Target Faces Backlash Over ‘Pride’ Collection Designer Behind ‘Satan Respects Pronouns’ Shirts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Target is facing backlash over a designer featured in the company’s “Pride” collection who appears to have created products with Satanic imagery.

Scarlett Johnson, an activist from Wisconsin, went viral on Twitter this weekend with a thread explaining why she is “done” with the retailer. In particular, Johnson took issue with Target listing three items on its online store from Abprallen, a London-based designer of products that sometimes mix imagery and messages about gender with the macabre.

None of the three colorful apparel items for sale under the Abprallen label on Target’s website have Satanic imagery. The catalogue includes a “We Belong Everywhere” mini messenger bag for $18, another is a “Too Queer for Here” tote bag for $18, and a third is a “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People” sweatshirt for $25. All are listed under “Pride Adult Clothing.”

But Johnson highlighted other products for sale that are shown on the Abprallen website and associated Instagram account with about 25,000 followers. Among them is a skeleton draped in rainbow colors, a “Trans Witches For Abortion” badge, and a “Satan respects pronouns” T-shirt.

Corporate Queering: Target Selling ‘Tuck-Friendly’ Children’s Bathing Suit (VIDEO)

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Target is selling a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit as part of its massive pride collection, which has already made waves for its overt marketing to children.

Target released its latest “pride” collection ahead of what secular society has deemed “pride” month, taking place in June. The far-left uses the artificial designation of the month to further radical gender ideology, which teaches that biology does not matter and gender does not correspond with an individual’s biological sex, leading to the further erasure of women.

The pride section, routinely placed toward the front of the department stores, features items for not just adults, but children as well. And this year, Target is rolling out a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit designed to help biological men “tuck” their genitals away to appear more feminine.

One bathing suit, created in partnership with Humankind, states that it is “designed for comfort & confidence” and created with “tuck-friendly construction.” (Read more from “Corporate Queering: Target Selling ‘Tuck-Friendly’ Children’s Bathing Suit” HERE)

Target Releases Latest ‘Pride’ Collection, Complete With Kids Books and Rainbow Items for Babies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Target unveiled a number of clothing items and accessories, including apparel and books meant for babies and young children, as part of the retail behemoth’s latest “Pride” collection.

In addition to the adult collection, which included a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Queer Queer Queer Queer,” a short sleeve bright green boilersuit, and a hoodie which declares “Not A Phase,” the company offered several items meant for kids and babies. The store is selling onesies and small shirts with phrases like “Bien Proud” and “Just Be You And Feel The Love,” as well as rainbow-colored leggings, tutu skirts, and jumpers.

Target likewise offers bibs that say “I Am Proud Of You Always,” rainbow sandals and swimwear, and socks with various LGBTQ-related themes. Shoppers with pets can purchase rainbow backpacks, chew toys, treats, leashes, collars, and cat scratchers.

The retailer has garnered controversy for several years with “Pride” collections meant to commemorate the June LGBTQ festivals. Items sold last year included breast binders, packing underwear, and other offerings meant for self-identified transgender individuals, drawing backlash against the company.

Efforts to advance radical gender theory among children have been spotlighted over the past year. Lawmakers in some states have moved to ban sexually explicit drag queen performances for minors.

Target Collaborates With ‘Queer-Owned’ Brand to Sell Chest Binders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Target stores, which are no stranger to political controversy, are wading in the waters yet again, collaborating with what has been described as “queer-owned” brands to assist in normalizing radical transgender ideology by selling chest binders — apparel to flatten women’s chests.

Target recently collaborated with the brand TomboyX, which identifies itself as a brand that is “passionate about fostering acceptance and equality.”

“We are a queer-founded brand dedicated to empowering our LGBTQ+ community year-round, and advocating for equal representation and celebration of all people,” the brand states, offering products for “all bodies and needs, of all sizes and across the gender spectrum.” “Gender Euphoria” is one of its signature collections, and includes “tucking” bikini bottoms as well as “compression” tops, or chest binders.

A brief search on Target’s website shows some of the pieces the department store offers as part of the collaboration, including “pride” packing underwear, “pride” bras, and a $25.00 “compression top,” or chest binder.
