    Target holds 'emergency' meeting over LGBTQ merchandise in some stores to avoid ‘Bud Light situation’

    Some southern locations move Pride displays, apparel away from storefronts

    FIRST ON FOX – Some southern Target stores were forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ Pride merchandise away from the front of their locations after customer "outrage" to avoid a "Bud Light situation."

    Many Target locations across the country feature massive June Pride month displays on an annual basis, with items this year ranging from "tuck friendly" bathing suits for transgender people to mugs that say "gender fluid." But the retail juggernaut has been criticized by some conservatives for the displays, with children’s items particularly irking many customers.

    A Target insider told Fox News Digital that many locations, mostly in rural areas of the south, have relocated Pride sections to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks after using a transgender influencer in a promotional campaign.

        I have seen over the years how the PRIDE section gets bigger and bigger in Target each year. It's usually right when you first walk in, and has been expanding to include lots of children gear too which is just awkward and wrong.

          Didn't they lose $100M this year?

                  Target? Is that the US retail chain giant that opened across the country with tremendous fanfare and fou-fa then closed all its stores here within two or three years because nobody would shop there?

                        Wait, if it identifies as a woman and as a “real life homosexual” that means it likes people with female genitalia, no?

                            So now you have bomb threats in Utah over the pride displays and bomb threats in Ohio because they think Target abandoned the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ community.

                              North Face went lifestyle many years back anyway.

                              Just didn't know it was that lifestyle.

                              Please love yourself.
