And so the Christian Taliban maga brownshirts win. I have seen one of the videos of these extremists telling other shoppers that a rainbow shirt was from the devil and it was supporting child sex, question workers and other shoppers if they were Satanist or believed in god, talking of grooming kids, all this hyper anti-gay religious stuff. That video is below in the comments. These people have learned to be violent, like the maga that went into stores and threw beer out of the shelves and coolers. Instead of standing up to these domestic terrorist, these chain stores are giving in to them. Shades of 1930s Germany. Hugs
The Associated Press reports:
Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers. “Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement Tuesday.
”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.” Target confirmed that it has moved its Pride merchandise from the front of the stores to the back in some Southern stores after confrontations and backlash from shoppers in those areas.
Target’s Pride month collection has also been the subject of several misleading videos in recent weeks, with social media users falsely claiming the retailer is selling “tuck-friendly” bathing suits designed for kids or in kids’ sizes.

Great idea. It is a known fact that if you do what terrorists want, they will go away and never bother you again.
On the other hand, this Target employee is not backing down.
“Do you support the satanic pride agenda?”
“Mmhmm, both. Satan and Pride.”
This video is a year old. Not complaining, mind you because it shows the mindset of the Christian nut jobs who go around preaching hate. But it is not a recent event from this year.
That said there has been some hateful woman going around filming herself in Target screaming about LGBT merchandise. I saw one of her videos yesterday, can’t remember if it was here or on Reddit.
What a little weenie with his little agenda. What an wrongly righteous creep. I hope I don’t run into these kind of people anywhere. What idiocy for Christian grooming and Christian nationalist terrorism.
Hiding the Pride merchandise in the back of the store sure doesn’t scream PRIDE to me.
Yes and moving the merchandise will not placate the extremists. They won’t be satisfied until it’s been completely removed.
They are letting the domestic terrorists win.
Scottie's Playtime 
First, I want to say that it’s easy for people not in the direct line of fire (and I mean literally) of these threats of violence to nag those who are for not endangering themselves or others. I’ve been fighting with myself over this since I first read about it a few days ago. I don’t blame anyone for bowing out when people have already been hurt and killed by these violent bigots.
That being said, it is past time for terroristic threat laws to be enforced. I know there are states and cities within them who won’t do that; I live in one with Kris Kobach as AG, so while he won’t not accept these complaints, they’ll be at the bottom of his to-do basket. I’ve been marinating a letter to ACLU about these things, but bless their hearts, they’re already running on fumes pursuing and defending cases farther along than this particular one, and I have little money to send along with my letter. That’s why I’m fighting with myself: I wish people wouldn’t back down, but all it takes is one nut with a gun going into a store, and I don’t think any of us want that, either.
Damn the regression that’s taking place: progress hard-earned and won over years, now being rapidly destroyed. And how long will it take to regain, if that even remains possible? Too many people just don’t pay attention because it isn’t happening to them. So thanks for all you do, Scottie!
