Looks like Target is holding an emergency meeting to avoid a Bud Lite incident. Too late

I hope they go bankrupt. What they're doing is evil, literally.

I learned something from Target today. They sell a Pride Month swimsuit that features 'Xtra Tuck!' Transgenders can wear a lovely women's swimsuit that holds their penis and balls in real tight so it doesn't show a bulge.

File this under: It must be true because nobody can make that shite up.

There were some tweets last night that some Targets in conservative areas had removed the displays.

It's going to be tougher to get a mass boycott of Target. Part of the Bud Light thing is guys rip on each other for drinking it now. Women aren't calling each other groomers for wanting to check out home decor at Target.

But the Boycott them for the month of June campaign has some traction. And it will hurt. Not only will it hurt their bottom line, a lot of women who didnt think they could do it will realize they can and find alternative places to shop.

Target has been way left on this stuff for several years, I guess it's just the reenergized threat of the BL thing that is sparking some movement.

Would love to see them feel the hit

I think the openly Satanic nature of this year's Pride Collection may have been the straw that broke the camels back.

Someone of faith can walk by rainbows. Swimsuits that encourage binding and tucking is a little tougher. Images of Satanic goats with sayings like "Satan Respects Your Pronouns" and "Make them Fear Us," a few weeks after Christian kids were targeted by a trans shooter? True Christians can't support it.

Chip and Joanna Gaines would make millions from the Christian mom community if they stood up to Target and pulled their merchandise.

And what makes you say that? Something you heard?

I'm kind of surprised the previous boycott didn't last all that long. I guess soccer mom's are cool with their kids getting molested in the bathrooms.

This is far from new territory for Target. I quit on Target at least five years ago when I went into a store to buy my daughter some clothes and there was a massive Pride display in the children’s clothing department.

Walked out and have not returned.

Target holds 'emergency' meeting over LGBTQ merchandise in some stores to avoid ‘Bud Light situation’ (Fox News)
quote:

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 that some managers and district senior directors were told to tamp down the Pride sections immediately.

"We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage," the Target insider said.

"We call our customers ‘guests,’ there is outrage on their part. This year, it is just exponentially more than any other year," the Target insider continued. "I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of a Bud Light situation."

The insider, who has worked at the retailer for almost two decades, said Target rarely makes such hasty decisions. They said Friday’s call began with roughly 10 minutes on "how to deal with team member safety" because of the amount of backlash the Pride merchandise has generated, noting that Target Asset Protect & Corporate Security teams were present on the call.

"The call was super quick, it was 15 minutes. The first 10 minutes was about how to keep your team safe and not having to advocate for Target. The last five was, ‘Move this to the back, take down the mannequins and remove the signage,’" the insider said, noting that bathing suits have replaced Pride merchandise in front-of-store displays despite Pride month not even starting until June 1.

"It’s all under the guise of trying to increase swim sales," the insider said. "Everyone was like, ‘Thank God,’ because we’re all on the front lines dealing with it."

Target did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Fox News Digital has confirmed rural Target stores in South Carolina, Arkansas and Georgia are among the locations to move the Pride sections. Most rank-and-file employees were left in the dark, with many not knowing the Pride sections would be moved until they noticed it themselves.

Pride merchandise remains prominently displayed at other locations and on the Target website.

Target Pride merchandise includes female-style swimsuits that can be used to "tuck" male genitalia. Some products are also labeled as "Thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and gender expressions."

Pride merchandise also includes onesies and rompers for newborn babies, a variety of adult clothing with slogans such as "Super Queer," party supplies, home decor, multiple books and a "Grow At Your Own Pace" saucer planter.
