Target’s defense of their actions is hollow and rotten to the core.
First they defend their past support and then say they re-evaluated their pro-inclusive policy due to fear.
In a statement about its May 24 decision, the company said: “For more than a decade, Target has offered an assortment of products aimed at celebrating Pride Month. Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work.
So…….they will support us until it is no longer popular to do so due to pressure from bigots?
All minority groups, gays, blacks, Jews, etc., should be loudly vocal about this. If they easily bow to pressure against one group as a decision to trample rights then what is stopping them from doing the same thing towards other groups?
I used to be a loyal Target shopper but n more….until they grow a spine.
