LGBTQ+ Community SHOCK: Pride Takes Major Hit At Retail Giant

😢 A Minnesota-based retail giant shocked the LGBTQ+ Community with the news they are scaling back Pride merchandise next month. Find out why. 🏳️‍🌈 #PrideMonth #MinnesotaNews #BusinessNews

Minneapolis, MN – Retail giant Target, which calls Minnesota home, has made a difficult decision for Pride Month 2024. After facing a whirlwind of backlash from right-wing groups last year, they’ve chosen to limit their Pride merchandise to select stores and online only. It’s a tough pill to swallow for many, but Target says they’re basing this choice on past sales performance.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Takes a Hit at Target

While this year’s Pride collection may be smaller, it’s still packed with goodies that’ll make your heart sing! From fabulous adult clothes to delectable snacks and drinks, and even some adorable home accessories, Target says they’ve still got you covered.

🤝 Stills Stands with the LGBTQ+ Community

Even though Target’s in-store Pride selection might be a bit smaller this year, they’re still showing up in a big way. They’ll be making appearances at local Pride events across the country and continuing to support incredible organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and Family Equality.

😢 The Heartbreak of Hate

You know, as born-and-raised Minnesotans, we know firsthand how much love and support our state has for the LGBTQ+ community. We proudly stand with the entire LGBTQ+ community during this challenging time.

It breaks our hearts to think about what Target and the LGBTQ+ community faced last year. Stores saw ugly confrontations between customers and employees, and there were even instances of Pride merchandise being thrown on the floor like trash. It’s a painful reminder of the hate and bigotry that still exists in our world, but we know that love will always win in the end.
