6 months agoWhat is particularly despicable about this business strategy is that they are going to pull all of the LGBTQ+ merchandise from areas which are hostile toward that population and only sell it in areas where it is embraced/non-controversial. Meaning that the folks who would most benefit from the normalizing of showing pride in their identity are left without it. I can only imagine how extra painful it is for closeted gay kids in these areas to see that the local Target knows and is essentially telling them that their community is anti-LGBTQ+ and not worth them risking showing a speck of rainbow during June.
Thanks for sharing! I feel like I know some folks who need this in case of emergency. Will be passing it along to several friends…
