I've boycotted Tarsh*t for over three years because they treat their employees like trash. A relative of mine worked there for a little while, and the stories they told of yelling, verbal abuse by managers in front of customers, physical violence like grabbing the employees, and "pay raises" of 8 pennies for all employees made me never shop there again. They even recorded the store manager's verbal abuse once and let me listen to how they were treated. I hope both sides boycott them!

Remember same sex doesn't make kids which ends humanity.

[ferenchorvath]

They don’t want to end up like Disney 😂😂😂😂

They should stop selling all the pride merch targeting kids... it should be illegal to do that.

Can’t even pick up shampoo and conditioner without being bombarded with this crap

[davidwright]

Great!! Not responsible for promoting abhorent sexuality.

It's time to choose a side, Target

Will continue to fight until *all* child predator support is banned! 🇱🇷🦅✝️

About time. Why try so hard to make these people feel good. They should be happy with themselves. That’s what’s wrong with the world. Enjoy your self nobody gives a care about your beliefs. Take some pride in your relationship and you’ll be ok. Quit looking for everyone else’s approval

I know I will not go back. Could be too late many people are beyond disgusted with them.

[ludovicleprinceroyal]

Who shops at Target and WalMart anyway?
Have people lost all sense of reason?
Try to elevate yourselves a bit.

I stopped shopping there when they started locking up their merchandise. It’s in-store pick up or Amazon for me.

Target if you put that rainbow up you will burn 🔥 it will all go down 😏

[JThom-yhef]

I haven’t shopped at target ever since they came up with that disgustingness. Not only that, I canceled my Target discount membership. Sorry Target, but we normal people ain’t down with that gay nonsense. Even the NHL athletes say no to that nastiness 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮.

[abcfhdi]

keep it in West Hollywood and Glendale.

[TheBestDog]

It’s sad that people are offended by rainbow flags, but not the confederate flag. Your hate has no place in a free country. Target has lost my business.

now the people who boycotted target can return to the stores. it seems that target is trying to respect the republican base. but how can target respect the democratic base if the republican base does not agree with pride merchandise at target. is the republican base censoring americans right to choice? food for thought and friendly discussions for all.
