Target Takes Hit For Pushing Pride Products

It’s very simple – the majority doesn’t like when the minority is set aside as something special.

“Black is beautiful.” Really? I’ve seen plenty of ugly black people.

“Black lives matter.” Really? I’ve seen plenty of black lives that do not matter.

“I Am Woman Hear Me Roar.” Really? Shut up.

“Pride!” Really? What are you proud about?

It’s not about hating, it’s about a group “othering” others.

I can remember when Italy won the World Cup when I was a teenager and dumb greaseballs that couldn’t point to Italy on a map, who happened to have last names that ended in a vowel, drove around honking their horns.

I was never fond of the stupid gold pepper/horn thing that they wore around their necks on a chain as if they were all in a special society.

If these people were stores I wouldn’t shop in them.

(By the way, this was the psychology behind the marketing genius of Member’s Only jackets.)

Newser– Target’s quarterly sales dropped for the first time in six years, due in part to the “strong reaction” to its Pride month offerings, the company said Wednesday. Sales at stores open for at least a year fell 5.4% last quarter, while foot traffic declined 4.8%, CNN reports. From April to June, consumers cut back on nonessential items, which make up more than half of Target’s merchandise, as they encountered high prices for essentials, per the Wall Street Journal. But “the strong reaction to this year’s Pride assortment” also impacted sales, Target’s chief growth officer, Christina Hennington, said Wednesday, per CNN. Target offered Pride-themed products this spring as it has in previous years. But this year, some critics responded with anger and violence, knocking down displays and threatening employees.

Nobody wants to shop in a store where they tout a remarkable lifestyle when it won’t ever be your lifestyle.

  1. Clowns running Tar Gay have learned nothing. They are so committed to leftism they’d rather see their company destroyed than move to the right. Sure hope they’re fully vaccinated and boosted, anti-Ivermectin, and pro Remdesivir.

  2. … some critics responded with anger and violence, knocking down displays and threatening employees. Some called for boycotts as “the anti-LGBTQ campaign spread misleading information about the Pride month products,” per CNN.

    two words …. bull … & shit
    if they had video, which most Target stores do w/ surveillance tapes, they would have readily shown it.
    Bank on it!
    this is how American Pravda rolls … if they don’t have any evidence to narrate their angle, just make it up

  3. “If a student displayed sympathy or ambivalence or neutrality for President Trump, the recruiters disengaged and pursued their next target.”

    “The soldiers presently in custody, at least the few who confessed, said visiting FBI agents taught classes on how to recognize authentic MAGA from assets posing as MAGA, people like Ray Epps. The driveways, doorsteps, and mailboxes of known Trump supporters have been marked with a paint that allegedly luminesces when exposed to ultraviolet light.”

  4. “In addition to confronting employees, unhappy customers have made threats on social media using footage….” Yet not a single example!
