I’m so sick of these lying, perverted assholes. This isn’t “their opinion”, this is stochastic terrorism deliberately meant to put LGBT people in physical danger by associating them with pedophilia. It’s the exact kind of hatred the Nazis fomented against Jewish people. They know it’s not true, lying is a means to an end.
These people are genuine extremists who have to be stopped. It infuriates me that so many people still try to play the “both sides” bullshit. Democrats aren’t openly talking about eliminating entire groups of people, like Mark Rubio did.
I’m so fucking tired of this culture war bullshit. This is what my tax dollars are getting wasted on? No. I don’t approve of that. There should be a way for me to say “If you’re gonna keep wasting my money with this farce, I’m out. No more money for you.”
I think the real life version of this is moving away
Wait, what? Target barely even had a Pride campaign this year. They started rolling it out early, then backpedaled so fast and so far that there was basically nothing in June. Certainly nothing that classified as “sexual” to a sane human being. Also, if they’re still claiming there was anything actually trans-body-friendly in children’s sizes, that is pure fiction. As a trans, queer person, I would give Target maybe a C- for LGBTQ+ - friendliness, and that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt. These scumbags are not only morally bankrupt, they’re barking up the wrong tree.
It’s why as a company you don’t blink when the right tries to face you down on these issues. You don’t give them a toe-hold to build on.
When Target kind of floundered and backtracked after the initial round of threats about their pride display, the GOP saw weakness and an opportunity to double down. Similar to what happened with Bud Light and their tepid response to the Mulvaney thing.
When you just take a principled stand and stick to it, the bigots will wear themselves out eventually, there’s nothing they can do outside of committing literal terrorism. But when you shrink back they take that as a tacit admission that their bullying works.
That makes sense. I think Bud Light had a broader problem than Target, but I agree that their retreat wasn’t a good idea, either.
That was still too much for the tighty righties.
I guess so. [/smh]
For God’s sake. This is just getting exhausting and depressing. Worry about the fucking economy, not rainbow t-shirts, you embarrassment to the human species
Grow a damn spine, Target. They can’t do anything of the sort without 1A burning their entire bigot law to the ground.
