Target Learned Nothing From Their Pride Fiasco — Hires ‘Gay Cruella’ for LGBTQ Marketing



The hire was flagged by the popular Libs of TikTok account on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Remember when @Target sold tucking swimwear for kids and their sales dropped, stock plunged, and they were sued by shareholders?” LoTT wrote. “Apparently they didn’t learn their lesson cuz they just hired an LGBTQ activist to lead their ‘LGBTQIA+ multicultural merchandising strategy and pride businesses’ who’s already threatening to ‘make trouble’ after laughing about the backlash Target received.”

I know it doesn't amount to much, but I haven't stepped inside of a Target since the original story broke.

Nothing to see here folks. It's all perfectly normal. This is just a little something that happened while fanatically advocating for the LGBTQI+ agenda.

Philadelphia LGBTQI+ Activist Kendall Stevens Charged with Rape of Minors



Kendall Stephens, a prominent LGBTQI+ activist in Philadelphia, has been charged with raping two minors among other alleged offenses.

Stephens, 37, reportedly had a preliminary arraignment in Philadelphia Municipal Court on Monday after being arrested and charged, according to CBS Philadelphia. Police said the alleged incidents happened in September.

“Court documents show Stephens was charged with rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with minors, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with minors, indecent assault against people less than 13 years of age, obscenity to minors and endangering the welfare of children,” noted the outlet.

Stephens, a black transgender woman, a man presenting himself as a woman, rose to prominence in the Philadelphia activist scene back in 2020 after suffering a hate crime inside his home. The assailant, Tymesha Wearing, was convicted this past February for “aggravated assault and conspiracy for her role in the home invasion and group assault” of Stephens. Wearing was also convicted of hate crimes.

Stephens advocated for more protection of LGBTQI+ people in the city.

Target Will Only Sell Pride Merchandise Online and in ‘Select Stores’ After Last Year’s Backlash

Last June, Target faced a major boycott for offering Pride-themed products from a Satanic designer with violent messaging and “tuck-friendly” women’s bathing suits.

In a press release on their website, Target said they will offer “a collection of products including adult apparel and home and food and beverage items, curated based on consumer feedback.”

“The collection will be available on Target.com and in select stores, based on historical sales performance,” the press release continued.

The retail giant noted that it continues to support LGBTQIA+ organizations year-round, including Human Rights Campaign, Family Equality, and more.

In July 2023, seven Republican Attorney Generals sent a letter to Target warning that their Pride month displays may have violated state laws that “protect children from harmful content meant to sexualize them and prohibit gender transitions of children.”

“This year, Target reportedly promoted and sold products in our states that included, among other products, LGBT-themed onesies, bibs, and overalls, t-shirts labeled ‘Girls Gays Theys;’ ‘Pride Adult Drag Queen Katya’ (which depicts a male dressed in female ‘drag’); and girls’ swimsuits with ‘tuck-friendly construction’ and ‘extra crotch coverage’ for male genitalia,” the letter said. “Target also included merchandise by the self-declared ‘Satanist-Inspired’ brand Abprallen, which is known for designs that glorify violence. These designs include the phrases ‘We Bash Back’ with a heart-shaped mace in the trans-flag colors, ‘Transphobe Collector’ with a skull, and ‘Homophobe Headrest’ with skulls beside a pastel guillotine. Target also sold products with antiChristian designs, such as pentagrams, horned skulls, and other Satanic products. One such design included the phrase ‘Satan Respects Pronouns’ with a horned ram representing Baphomet—a half-human, half-animal, hermaphrodite worshiped by the occult.”

After news of Target’s extremist Pride campaign went viral, a conservative boycott caused the company’s stock prices to plummet by 16 percent.

The Target boycott began shortly after Bud Light was hit with one for partnering with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney.

Target close to us, used to have a 10 registers opened, and lines about 20 people deep in each queue. I hated going to Target for that reason.
It would take an hour just to go through the checkout line.
In the few times I have gone to Target in the last year. There was only about two or three lines opened, and at least one of them have no one in line.
