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." (snip) 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.

Too late. We thought you learned your lesson back during the Bathroom preferences. You're a lost cause.

The corporations are asking us to affirm these strange gender fantasies and sexual lifestyles.
My answer is a polite "no". I need not explain myself or make excuses.

I wish I still entered Target stores so I could not enter anymore. The bathroom decision ended my shopping at Target.

I quit even going into Target. The last time that I tried to buy an anniversary card for my wife, there weren't any for a husband to give to his wife, but there were plenty of unsold queer cards that would only be useful to an small percentage of the population. If their new business model is to pander to deviants and freaks, then there is no reason for a normal person to do business in their establishment.

Too little, too late. I haven't been inside a Target store since way back, when they shut down the Salvation Army Christmas bell-ringers

Several years ago, I used to shop at Target far more than Wal-Mart. We even got our first HDTV at Target. It was cleaner and nicer, with somewhat higher quality merchandise, than Wal-Mart. I used to go to the weekly Target ad in the Sunday paper as soon as I got it from the curb.
But when they did the evil and woke action of allowing male perverts into their ladies' bathrooms as an official company policy, I stopped shopping there. In the last 5 years or so, I have probably been in a Target maybe 3 times, and that was when I needed something that day and could not find it anywhere else in town. And then I went in, got that single item, and left.
But now I am fully done. I will never step foot in a Target again, and they will never see another penny of our money again. No "boycott", since that indicates a temporary stoppage of something. I will never shop there again no matter what the circumstances!!!

I go into Target at the mall sometimes. The parking lot outside is usually nearly empty so its easy to get a close spot, then walk through the store to the mall. I havent noticed any freakish displays but dont really look.

Sadly I was lulled back into target, after the bathroom issue. No more. And I have merchandise I purchased there a month ago that is going BACK. Did the same with Ulta a few weeks ago. Never again.

I had this thought today, kind of off-topic.
Where do trans-women, cross-dressers and drag queens by their high heels? And after wearing them for more than 6 hours, do they regret their choice of life-style?

Target was among the first chains to allow trans into women's restrooms. We no longer shop there.

Target has gone woke. My family noticed that several months ago. We have stopped going into the store AND purchasing anything on-line. People we know have done the same thing. Go woke, go broke! Corporate suits seem to be the last ones to learn that lesson.

These companies are trying to meet the Social Criteria set forth in the ESG framework. By upping their score they can get investors to buy their stock. ESG does not care about whether a company makes any money, they care about their liberal agenda.

I haven't entered a Target store since they put in unisex bathrooms. Nor will I ever again. Looks like my personal boycott was justified.

Too late. Target lost a lot of customers during the whole genderless bathroom issue. Now, the rest will follow. Americans are sick of having the trans agenda shoved down their throats. Make a difference and boycott Target.

I don't need Target. I rarely go there, but now I'm not interested at all. No sales can entice me.

Here is something you can really laugh outloud about, and we all need a good laugh. At Liberty Daily.com there is an article - highlighted in red - "Cover your eyes - Alex Stein vists woke Target. . . " proving that woke is a joke.

Way too little and too late. I’d love to start to boycott Target but I’ve already been doing it since they booted out the Salvation Army Christmas bell ringers. And that had to have been around 10 years ago.

They are building a new Target in my neighborhood and after this my guess is it will not be a popular place to shop.

Who cares? Target, yet another woke business. That is almost incidental today. But, the truly serious, serious issue that I keep asking myself eachandeverysingle day, Who Are These People? Who are the people that think up and design these clothes for infants and children? Who are the people that make the clothes for infants and children? Who are the people that market these perverted garments and who are the people in the stores that put them on displays? It's about time people start refusing to make these things and put them on display in stores. Certainly good American workers in places like Target should steadfastly refuse to put these things on display.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the United States of America these days is making Sodom and Gomorrah look like a tea party. This has got to stop. It must!

I grew up in rural WVA during the 80s and we didn't have a Walmart or Target as Kmart was king. The only reason I found out about Target believe it or not was when I joined the Navy and saw the movie Career Opportunities with Frank Whaley and a very beautiful Jennifer Connally. It's a cute boy meets girl movie for you lovers of romantic comedies. Anyway, Then I get stationed from HI to the Bay Area of CA and shopped at my first Target getting stuff for my first ever apartment with my new bride. How happy we were in the most populated state in our union buying household items at a store neither of us saw before. Then I get back to the East Coast and Target denigrated the USMC by stopping the Christmas time Salvation Army kettle donations. That's when I stopped shopping there. Then came their restroom stupidity and finally this latest foray into idiiot-ville with trans onesies for your baby and I am trans for your young children. They've gone beyond woke. Needless to say, Target who once got my business all because of a 90s movie will never again get a dime of my hard-earned money.

Target can take a Long Walk off a Short Pier.
Agree that Jennifer Connally was a Knockout!
Catch her in The Rocketeer (My favorite movie!)
