Pride Month merchandising at Target: The bigots and homophobes are winning on this front

 
HeadlineMinneapolis Star Tribune, 5/10/2024
Last year, Target sold an assortment of Pride products at all of its more than 1,900 stores. This year, it's selling in a smaller, undisclosed amount of stores based on market feedback, the company said. All of its Pride merchandise will be available online, according to a statement released Thursday. 
Target, which has sold a large variety of LGBTQ-friendly products in the past, has also reduced the number of items in the collection compared with past years. 
Last summer, Target faced backlash in some stores, on social media and from conservative media outlets for some of its merchandise.
