Target pulls some LGBTQ+ merchandise from stores ahead of June Pride month after threats to workers

No "threat to workers," that is merely a lie to justify to the LGBT+ community why Target is taking down the pride displays. The real reason is fear of a boycott.

Guess Target has made its choice that banishing the Baphomet theme under the Globalist Moriah Conquering Wind and losing the BIS and Swiss Octagon liquidity is lower risk than leaving the Satanist assault in place.

I like how Target used the vague threat of danger as an excuse, this was done to assuage the feelings of LDHDTV+

"We had no choice, they arrived just before you did."

Had exactly the same thought. They took it down cause they sales are cratering, the only reason. Nobody buys the bullshit safety hoaxes anymore.

It might be one of the fastest turnabouts in the company’s history. As recently as May17th, Target CEO Brian Cornell told Fortune’s “Leadership Podcast” that the company’s new Pride-themed clothing lines were “just good business decisions, and it’s the right thing for society, and it’s the great thing for our brand,” Cornell said.

I wonder if he really thought that.

Then yesterday, after widespread public outcry over Target’s new Pride collection of clothing for kids, and “tuckable” outfits for adults, news broke about “emergency meetings” corporate had with retail store managers, directing them to remove some of the items and move other items to the backs of the stores.

Fox quoted a Target insider who said the corporation was hoping to avoid a “Bud Light situation.” The insider explained, “We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage.”

And that’s not all. Users reported that the entire Satan-themed Abprallen collection was rudely deleted from Target’s website without notice. The Washington Post ran a related story yesterday, headlined “Target Removes Some LGBTQ Merchandise From Stores Ahead of June Pride Month After Threats to Workers.”

Haha, threats to workers. Sure. Let’s see the police reports.

The “threats” they really mean are threats to PROFITS, which the struggling retailer can’t afford right now.

Anyway, of more interest is WHICH items were removed — WaPo called them “LGBTQ” items. The article wasn’t specific about which ones were removed, but I was pleasantly surprised at how accurately WaPo described the devil-worshipping Abprallen line:

Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company that designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ clothing and accessories, have also created backlash.

It does look like the Abprallen items were the ones removed. The brand still shows up in Target’s typeahead search suggestions...

Anyway, Target was just trying to nip this thing in the bud light. The company’s prompt corrective response would never have happened without the Budweiser boycott. Thanks, Bud drinkers who changed brands.

North Face Slammed over Ad Featuring Drag Queen Urging Viewers to ‘Come Out’ in Nature

(One of the main tenets of the Communist Manifesto is the destruction of the traditional family and values. The Great Reset is a Communist movement, and they are the ones that are behind this global campaign to advance perversion in every manner that they can.)



Calls to boycott The North Face have followed the outdoor brand’s release of a transgender ad featuring a drag queen encouraging customers to “come out” with the brand.

In an Instagram post Wednesday, outdoor recreation products company The North Face presented its “Summer of Pride” campaign featuring drag queen and intersectional environmentalist Pattie Gonia, a self-described “real-life homosexual.”

I want to point out that things are are unimaginable to you, aren't unimaginable to others. Listen to him.

I don't know who among us remembers the "Satanic Panic" of the 1990s. If they wanted to cover it up, and it was real, they would only expose the false ones. That's how our government works.

1/2 of child pornography websites are run by our intelligence agencies. Jeffrey Epstein was intelligence, Alex Acosta said this, told you. People need to recognize evil really exists, or they can't fight it.

Patrick says

Beyond that, they want to prevent reproduction. The obvious way to prevent reproduction is to turn as many children gay as possible. Then those children will not reproduce, and at least for male homosexuals, will have dramatically shorter lifespans due to sexually transmitted diseases.

This nonsense will never work with Muslims. As a result there will be a demographic change in a few decades.

Bud Light Sponsors Cincinnati Pride Parade as Sales Plummet with Boycott



Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light is one the brands sponsoring the upcoming Cincinnati Pride Parade as the brand’s sales continue to plummet following a boycott after the company partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

As the New York Post reported:

A glance at the list of sponsors on the event’s website reveals that the Anheuser-Busch brand is lending its name to the annual event, which will be held on June 24.

The image on the page shows a rainbow-colored bottle of Bud Light next to a glass of beer under the heading “Together in Pride.”

Other sponsors of the Cincinnati Pride Parade include Planned Parenthood, Toyota, and Kroger, among others.

I guess Bud Light thinks that if they drop their sponsorship of the Cincinatti Pride Parade they will have even more backlash from the LGBTQ crowd. Maybe they have already written off the general public. I wonder if the CEO of AB has called the CEO of Miller to beg Miller to sponsor that parade as well.

Disney Plus Series ‘Matildas: The World at Our Feet’ Praised as a ‘Powerful Display of Queer Joy’



In keeping with Disney’s drive to create as much content extolling LGBTQIA2S+ identity as possible, the entertainment giant has posted a limited series about the lesbians who play for Australia’s national women’s soccer team — Matildas: The World At Our Feet.

The six-episode series follows the lives of three members of the team on and off the soccer field.

“Despite all their hardships, one goal follows them throughout – to leave a lasting legacy and inspire future generations to pursue their dreams,” the Disney synopsis reads.

With the FIFA Women’s World Cup set to kick off in Australia and New Zealand between July 20 and Aug. 20, Disney has produced its “inspirational and intimate” look at the gay players, including team captain Sam Kerr, forward Emily Gielnik and midfielder Tameka Yallop, Pink News noted, calling the series “the best LGBTQ+ series you’re not watching.”.

Pink News adds that the series is “Riding high on an uplifting display of queer joy.”

The company has also released a line of gay-themed “Pride Collection” of toys to inculcate “gay pride” in children, as well as a line of LGBTQIA2S+ clothing for children, profits of which the company is donating to groups that groom children for the queer movement.

The company is also pushing a long and growing list of gay TV shows and movies, nearly all of which is made for its children’s programming. Last year the company produced its This Is ME gay pride special aimed at children.

Recently, Breitbart News published a report entitled, “Groomer-Gate: 15 Times Disney Promoted LGBTQAI2S+ in Children’s Programming,” that details just a few of the programs Disney has used to promulgate the gay agenda among its children’s programming.

Disney has made a concerted campaign to push as much gay content into its programming as possible.

WATCH – Californians Protesting Transgenders in Girls’ Sports Forced to Exit Stadium: Officials ‘Frightened of Women Holding Banners’


Citizens protesting transgender athletes in girls’ sports were reportedly ushered out of a state high school event on Saturday in California.

Several transgender runners were supposed to be part of the event but failed to attend, the Daily Mail reported Sunday.

According to footage on the Women Are Real social media page, the group was removed by an official with the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships.

At the event, the group held banners with phrases on them such as “Protect Female Sports” and “Speak Up 4 Girls.”

Target has been hemorrhaging customers and profits ever since they decided to try to indoctrinate children with LGBTQIA+ supremacy propaganda. Kohl’s said, “Hold my beer.”

Here’s gear for infants recently spotted there:

Why?

Boosting their esg score, this was all decided well before the boycotts.

What a shock! Target VP Was Board Member for K-12 Transgender Advocacy Group



Target’s shareholders lost $9 billion in stock market value because the C-suite mixed its professional duties with its personal agendas, including advocacy for transgenderism.

The poster boy for this high-risk policy is Target’s vice president for brand marketing, Carlos Saavedra. He moonlights as a board member of an advocacy group for K-12 transgenderism and gay status. The group, titled GLSEN, is an acronym chosen by the teachers who formed the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network in 1990.

Target’s website says Saavedra “leads Target brand stewardship & campaign development for initiatives including Holiday, Back-to-School/College, Target Run, Discovery, Inclusive Marketing, and Digital & Social Engagement.”

That description portrays Saavedra as the retail version of Bud Light’s Alissa Heinerscheid, who wrecked the company’s Bug Light business by trying to rebrand the blue-collar beer around transgender advocate Dylan Mulvaney.

But Target’s managers collectively created their own disaster when they hired their deputies and placed pro-transgender and gay advocacy products in prominent displays at the front of the stores.

In response, the company’s core customers of married suburban moms have rationally mobilized against Target.

The mobilization is happening because many people feel increasingly alarmed by elite advocacy for transgenderism by the government, businesses, news media, and commercial entertainment. But the mobilization is also possible because the public now has social media networks that allow anti-elite boycotts to become a shared, profitable, affirming, and amusing middle-class mission.

Target says little about Saavedra, who may carefully segregate his day job at Target from his advocacy at GLSEN.
But Saavedra joined Target in July 2019 after working at PepsiCo for almost 18 years, where he led efforts to sell more products to Hispanics and other cultural subgroups. A 2005 article in SeaCoastOnline.com suggests Saavedra is also an advocate for sexual minorities:

CHICAGO — Carlos Saavedra came out to a colleague soon after he started working at Quaker Foods four years ago, reassured by seeing gay and lesbian employees climbing the ladder at the Chicago company.

“You can bring your whole self to work rather than seeming isolated and distant because you can’t talk about what you do outside work,” said the 25-year-old assistant marketing manager.

The first person he told at work was the former chair of EQUAL-Quaker, the company’s affinity group. Now he chairs that group as well as its umbrella organization, EQUAL-PepsiCo.

He works alongside Jennifer Breeden Okun, the senior vice president for design and packaging at Target. She touts her identity as a pro-transgender “She/Her” on LinkedIn, where she also displays the merged symbols of Target and gay advocacy.

But the pro-transgender advocacy is also coming from the top of the company.

Company CEO Brian Cornell is defending the company’s advocacy policies. They are “the right things for our business,” he told Fortune during a May 17 broadcast, when his company’s share price was $161:

We think about what’s right for our team [of employees], and what’s consistent with our culture. And Alan, when we do that, I think we make really good decisions, and we add value for our shareholders. That’s part of why we’ve seen explosive top line growth. So I think the facts are in the results for us, and the things we’ve done from a DEI [diversity, equity, and inclusion] standpoint — it’s adding value. It’s helping us drive sales. It’s building greater engagement with both our teams and our guests. And those are just the right things for our business today.

Nine days later, his stock price had crashed to $140 per share, so wiping out roughly $9 billion in shareholders’ wealth.

That crash will slash Cornell’s income — but the income loss will be cushioned as his pro-diversity, woke-university peers shower him with status-boosting awards:

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — UCLA Anderson School of Management on Wednesday honored Brian Cornell, Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Target, with the 2022 John Wooden Global Leadership Award. The award was presented at a gala dinner at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

Saw an unconfirmed rumor that sexual deviants have placed bombs in Ohio Target stores?

https://babylonbee.com/news/target-launches-new-kids-clothing-line-with-partner-ghislaine-maxwell

... According to sources, the new clothing line will be called "Lil' Groomers" and should hit shelves in June. "We can't wait for Ms. Maxwell's brand to get its hands on kids," said Target fashion consultant Cassie Winslow. "The clothing line will be island-themed, but upscale and exclusive. Ms. Maxwell really has an amazing eye for what looks good on kids."

Target reportedly contacted the incarcerated Ms. Maxwell after an extensive search for new Pride Month designers with experience in affirming children's sexuality. "Ms. Maxwell has a rock-solid history of being incredibly affirming," said CEO Brian Cornell. "You would be hard pressed to find anyone else who has done more to help young kids express themselves sexually. We are so incredibly proud to have Ms. Maxwell continue that incredible legacy right here at Target."

At publishing time, conservatives calling to boycott Target over its partnership with Ms. Maxwell were declared terrorists and added to the FBI's watch list.

Welcome To Major League Baseball’s Struggle Sessions
BY: DAVID HARSANYI

https://thefederalist.com/2023/05/31/welcome-to-major-league-baseballs-struggle-sessions/



If you’re on the wrong side of history, you’re going to be educated.

The Toronto Blue Jays’ Anthony Bass is really sorry.

You see, Major League Baseball honors men in nun costumes who hand out condoms and simulate sex on crosses — that’s just “inclusivity.” Reactionary orthodox Christians with opinions, on the other hand, will be compelled to engage in ritual public humiliation and beg for forgiveness.

Over the weekend, Bass shared a post on his Instagram account promoting “anti-LGBTQ campaigns, which targeted boycotting Target and Bud Light because of those companies associated with the promotion of Pride campaigns.” Or, at least, “anti-LGBTQ” is how most news organizations describe boycotts against Bud Light — over the hiring of Dylan Mulvaney, who’s made a career aping a daft caricature of women — and Target, which sells chest binders and packing clothing and markets pro-trans apparel to kids.

Anyway, Bass’s scripted apology has all the earmarks of a contemporary struggle session.

First, the confession for wrongthink:

I recognize yesterday that I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine, and I am truly sorry for that. I just spoke with my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday.

Then the apology and promise of reform:

I apologized (to) them and, as of right now, I am using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward. The ballpark is for everybody. We include all fans at the ballpark and we want to welcome everybody.

No one, of course, was hurt by Bass’s comments supporting boycotts of a couple of multibillion-dollar corporations. As I recently noted, “educate” is nothing but a euphemism for ideological conformity. And anyone who values free expression should be appalled by the obvious coercion.

Not even bowing your head to teammates and admitting bad “actions” is enough, though. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that Bass’s self-flagellation would be ongoing. “We’re not going to pretend like this never happened,” the second-year manager said. “We’re not going to pretend like it’s the end and move on. There are definitely more steps that are going to follow.”

Why should a player give a single whit about Schneider’s positions on faith or sex or economic boycotts or anything else, for that matter? If he weren’t such a coward, the manager would simply have noted that all people, including baseball players, are entitled to an opinion in a free country without having to worry about losing their jobs or publicly debasing themselves. Instead, a player must now not only participate in “LGBTQ2S+” pride night but take lessons on how to embrace every letter (and plus sign and number).

Then again, the point of all this isn’t to punish a journeyman middle reliever. It’s to chill speech and transform relatively common positions about faith and irrefutable biological truths into blasphemous utterances, whether done in private or not.

As of this writing, Bass is — or, rather, was — one of only four players among more than 900 major league players who have spoken up on this kind of issue. Clayton Kershaw, who’s probably made somewhere around $350 million playing baseball, finally, and very gingerly, disagreed with his team for honoring those drag clowns of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The Dodgers’ Blake Treinen and Nationals’ Trevor Williams are basically the only players who have unambiguously come out with statements, the latter telling “fellow Catholics” to reconsider supporting the team.

It’s completely understandable that athletes prefer to stay out of politics and cultural battles. I wish they all did. But if Bass had shown disdain for the American flag and defended a mass murderer as did Colin Kaepernick — a borderline pro who could conveniently blame his short career on his outspoken rhetoric — he’d get a massive sneaker deal for his trouble. But if you’re on the wrong side of history, you’re going to be educated.

On Tuesday, news broke of a cross-dressing male—a guy named Nick wearing a mustache and a dress—greeting little kids outside of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Disneyland. It’s right there on video… Disney is allowing cross-dressing fetishists to greet little kids.
