This is nothing more than an overt attempt a shifting the Overton window.

They're putting a toe over the line to get people used to the idea, then once they do, they start increasing the next step.

I'd bet that within a few years Target will be selling drag queen kits for kids.

Target is not removing these items because they are scared of confrontations, they're removing them because they are afraid of the backlash that Bud Light got.

It's working. We should keep the pressure on.

Is the month of May "pride month"? Damn, there's only 7 days left and this weekend is Memorial Day. All they are doing is taking the shite that didn't sell and replacing it with Memorial Day stuff. I would imagine this happens every year right about now


June is pride month but companies are starting to treat it like Christmas and celebrate for 1-2 months prior in preparation for the actual month.

So we turn lions loose in June to cull the humans?




Sounds like a sound policy. I am still bummed the Great Hippo bill failed in Congress in the 1800's and never came to pass. Run herds in downtown NOLA and BR to reduce crime. Need heavy ammo to stop those dudes and gang handguns may just bounce off their hides.

Looks like there’s a little heat building up for Target. I wonder if they’re just in a ‘let this just go away’ nonchalant holding pattern or if it’s people running around with their hair on fire.

Sounds like it’s gonna be entertaining regardless.

You heard that folks?

Another Progressive is telling you they know what is best for "society". This fantasy where men are women is the way to go, according to these loons. Any counter to this fantasy narrative is "threats of violence".

See how they play the game? They play to win, and they are winning big time. They change the definition of words, they shame their enemies, and they push forward with their objectives, even if that objective involves grooming your kids as sex objects.

Thank a Democrat today!

Wife went into target after work yesterday and said the pride stuff was not at the front of the store but put in the middle of the store. So it sounds like every Target is doing things differently. I would have to imagine it is due to their customers in their area.

In our area this stuff is liable to be knocked over.

Alienating at least half (conservatives) of your customer base to appease less than 1% of the population has always baffled me as a business model.

Just remain neutral or in the words of the GOAT Michael Jordan - "Republicans buy shoes too"

It sure feels like something as happening. Maybe these big corporations have learned a little something from AB.
