Target loses $4 BILLION in ONE DAY even after BANNING PRIDE!

Target LOST over $4 billion today in stock value as their sales continue to COLLAPSE one year AFTER the boycott! Target is set to limit the sale of LGBTQ-themed merchandise for Pride Month after the retailer faced backlash a year ago.

Ahead of its Pride product release in June - a practice it has followed since 2013 - Target will reduce the number of stores selling the merchandise, and stop offering Pride-themed children's clothes.

The adult-only options come a year after calls to boycott the brand over its collection, including 'tuck-friendly' swimsuits and children's T-shirts with the slogan: 'Trans People Will Always Exist!'

This week, Target said it was only releasing LGBTQ products around half of its 2,000 stores nationwide, 'based on historical sales performance', reports Bloomberg.

A Target spokesperson told CNN that despite dialing down its LGBTQ-themed merchandise, the company is 'committed to supporting' Pride Month.

'Most importantly, we want to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our LGBTQIA+ team members, which reflects our culture of care for the over 400,000 people who work at Target,' the spokesperson added.

When it was faced with backlash a year ago, the outrage grew to the point that several stores received bomb threats if they didn't pull the clothing line, and the company's share price tanked by over $10 billion.

Calendars reading 'Queer All Year' were also among the products, with others including rainbow covered children's clothes and adult bodysuits.
Target CEO Brian Cornell pulled the merchandise from stores just days before Pride Month began amid the controversy, and defended the move by noting the bomb threats and hostility directed at his employees.

Not supporting Target at all. They hate family values.

[francisty]

Target targetted your kids. The Damage has been done.

[harrymills]

They lost a lot of customers who will never go back.

[donaldjones]

I hate Target. And the Democrat party. Both can go away. Boycott them.

Turns out that marketing sexuality to kids isn't very profitable. Disney's learning this the hard way.

[josecolon]

Businesses shouldn’t be celebrating anyone’s sexuality. They’ve painted themselves into a corner by trying to pander to select groups and this is the end result.

[garyclark]

I told my wife not to buy anything from Target after they started going fully woke. She now shops at Walmart, Amazon and Costco. Go woke and go broke Target!

[NotTomS]

Good work! Keep it up... No forgiveness... Go woke, go broke... Boycott Target!

[johnnyfreak]

Target went to bed with the devil..., you reap what you sew

[Mobius]

It hasn’t banned pride and that is the problem

[jayhanson-hsvg]

this is what happens when you get involved in identity politics . companies need to understand this. its not worth it to pander to these people

[docsavage]

Remember the good old days when you had no idea what the politics of department stores were because they weren't pushing it on you on every aisle?

[Quarks_Bar]

They need to be Punished Out Of Business--PERMANENTLY!!

[brotherskeeper]

Target shoulda stayed in their lane instead of jumping in the rainbow box.

[Chavez]

I haven’t been to Target in a year. Not ever going back

[mrsparex]

I've not been to Target in years and
will certainly NEVER go there again.

[willierhone]

Where are all the LBGTQ customers? why would they be losing money if there were so many of these customers from the LBGTQ community? Why is it that these companies will put everything on the line for the LBGTQ community, and they don't even support them. They didn't run out and buy "Bud Lite" or support the entertainment industry.

[RattiusHattus]

The moral of the story is that companies with a lot of competition should stay away from politics and/or religion.

[chipcook]

Do you get the idea that target executives thought all their customers were comfortable white suburban women who agree with The View?

[virtualistrust]

I didnt want to buy groceries at a place that also sold tuck in bathing suits.
