I don't think it's a safe assumption that they aren't.

Must be awful to live your life so tightly wound that the mere sight of a rainbow will cause an outburst of violence.

No one's forcing you to drink out of a 'gender fluid mug', you weak and silly coward.

Out of interest, has anyone on the right ever tried to defend this behaviour? Or do they pretend that it's a tiny minority?

The Dodgers got boycotted and reversed their decision on keeping the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence out of pride night.

Target is going to learn that same lesson here, especially when you learn that their HQ is in Minneapolis of all places.

Yep, consider that nazism is the goal and that the nazis even put to death anyone who didn't swear fealty to the Nazi party. Just the other day, a republican "joked" about looking forward to the day when democrats are so rare they'll be using dogs to hunt them down in the forest.

Do you have a link? The article I found is about Target partnering with an artist that has that design on his work, not an item Target was selling...

https://www.charismanews.com/us/92325-target-partners-with-trans-satanist-for-new-pride-collection

The tuck friendly swimsuit has already been misrepresented, as it's apparently only sold in adult sizes...

CLAIM: Targets Pride collection features a bathing suit for kids that is labeled tuck-friendly.
APS ASSESSMENT: False. The tuck-friendly swimsuits are only offered in adult sizes, according to a spokesperson for the company and Targets website. Kids swimsuits in the collection do not feature this label.

Yeah. "What Socialists?" would be my response. Didn't even have to kill them. Just make Leftists political Pariahs after Bill Clinton too liberals and lurched them to the right. Fucking disgraceful

I don't. I opened the link from Twitter and it doesn't save to my history for whatever reason. The article I read could totally be wrong though because now I'm reading that Target only had two designs "Cure Transphobia Not Trans People" and "Too Queer For Here". Pretty harmless.

I'm surprised they haven't gone on and claim the rainbow as their symbol, since it appears in the Bible as "a sign of God" to Noah.

I might not want to say that too loudly...

Oh, they did try that for a while, but when they realized people were just ignoring their entitled whining, they just decided to declare war on rainbows.

It's kind of like their history with the word "gay." They used to use it to make fun of queer folk, but then we took that ball they threw into our yard and started playing with it, now they're all mad and writing up "don't say gay" laws.

trans friendly as in "pink and blue stripes", or as in "this'll hide your junk better". both would be ridiculous to be controversial. but the latter also adds in the hypocrisy, since that's what they've been claiming as a problem this whole time.

No wonder that certain group of people is the way they are, they've never faced any repercussions for their actions.

This just empowers them more and they realize they can do whatever they want.

We're just as responsible as they are because we constantly let them get away with the shit they do.

Terrifyingly, this. If you're not a straight white Christian male, you need to be very concerned. I have depression and anxiety, so technically mentally ill/disabled. Even as a straight white male, I'm still in their crosshairs.

I was at Target yesterday. Pride display is front and center along with those infamous tuck shorts.

It's just a display. But that shirt that said "trans people will always exist" spoke volumes about what people are facing right now.
