Let me preface before I ask a question that as I stated in my first reply in this thread, no one is required to buy these products at Target and apparently now at Kohl's. People can easily....should easily....simply walk by these Pride displays and merchandise, leaving it be for those who are interested in it

That said, what about those who wear MAGA hats and All Lives Matter t-shirts? Should they be left alone IYO as well?

Personally, I make a point to "leave alone" anyone wearing those items. If they are strangers I give them a wide berth and assume we don't see eye-to-eye on politics, since they are announcing their position with the slogans. Likewise if I see those items in a store window display I usually go to another area or shop elsewhere since that is not what I am seeking.

But I do not throw those items on the ground, or video myself insulting or threatening the sales staff, or accuse them of corrupting children with their message.

Also - every major retailer where I live carries some type of Pride items, including Walmart, Michaels, Kohls, Macy's, Joannes, Boscov's, etc. Does anyone know why Target has been singled out? Or is it just very easy to video your outrage in those stores?

If this is true, obviously parents can choose or not choose to buy the items.

However, I do wonder what the point would be for this to be on the clothing of babies?

People who are non-Christian and of no religious affiliations live with wall to wall Christmas and Easter decor being sold by Target and other big box stores every year. If a group of say, Hindus, were to suddenly say “hey, I and other people don’t celebrate those holidays, so you shouldn’t be selling merchandise for them to anyone”, would you consider that self-centered?

Rainbow children's shirts or words in rainbow colors saying be proud or be kind or whatever are not harmful in any shape or form. The ones making these videos and acting outraged are going into the infant and toddler area, where the genders are often mixed, showing people pastel colored shit or pink shit claiming it's for boys and it's wrong, blah blah blah...they're toddlers, it doesn't matter. Just stupid manufactured outrage meant to rile up fellow knuckle draggers.

Target caving to their bullshit is wrong. If I were an employee there and I saw some dumb f**k old dude or some karen looking bitch destroying a display, I would be contacting security and the police, charging them with destruction, fining them for the destruction, making them pay for every article of clothing that hit the floor and trespassing their ass for life. I would prob work to have them barred from any and all Target stores in the country.

Depends on what age you consider a child and the “child’s” build and figure. As young as 12 or so they could be in juniors or small ladies clothing or swimsuits. Aren’t some also saying by that age they can put on puberty blockers or hormones meaning a transgender male to female would want tuck friendly suits?

Some parents aren’t ready or wanting to have that conversation or explanation in the front of the store.

Unless you’re the manager you wouldn’t be doing much more than contacting security, if they are there, or the manager for them to handle things.

Would non-Christians demanding that stores stop selling Christmas and Easter merchandise because they don’t celebrate Christmas and Easter be self-centered, in your opinion?

I don’t think Target would ever sell a shirt that said “Two Genders”, as it would go against their stated corporate inclusivity policy, where they identify themselves as LGBT allies: https://corporate.target.com/sustainabi ... ts/lgbtqia.

Shouldn’t they just walk by that nativity scene and let it be!?! So yeah, non-Christians are also looking into canceling Christian displays too. It goes both ways.
