Target faces backlash after removing LGBTQ+ merchandise
After their employees received threats over their Pride collection, Target recently pulled some of their merchandise off shelves, which extremism experts and LGBTQ advocates are warning could be seen as a success by anti-LGBTQ extremists and violent protesters. National LGBTQ+ organizations, including Family Equality, GLAAD, GLSEN, The Human Rights Campaign, and more are calling on Target and all businesses to stand up against anti-LGBTQ+ extremism.
According to ABC News, several Targets also received bomb threats over Memorial Day weekend calling for the return of the Pride items to shelves.
“Our focus now is on moving forward with our continuing commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community and standing with them as we celebrate Pride Month and throughout the year,” Target said in a statement last week.
