Republican AGs warn Target: Pride campaign raises ‘concerns’ under child-protection laws

 Seven Republican attorneys general warned Target on Thursday that the company’s controversial Pride collection contained vulgar clothing that may violate child-protection laws.

The group, led by Republican Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, argued the June Pride collection at Target was "potentially harmful to minors" and threatened the economic interests of the corporation's shareholders due to resulting boycotts. They also warned that the campaign raises "concerns" about compliance with state child protection and parental rights laws.

"As Attorneys General committed to enforcing our States’ child-protection and parental-rights laws and our States’ economic interests as Target shareholders, we are concerned by recent events involving the company’s 'Pride' campaign," they wrote. "Our concerns entail the company’s promotion and sale of potentially harmful products to minors, related potential interference with parental authority in matters of sex and gender identity, and possible violation of fiduciary duties by the company’s directors and officers."...............

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Target is cutting back on its LGBT Pride month collection following the consumer backlash to last summer’s assortment that sent its sales tumbling.

The retailer will only be selling its LGBT merchandise in select stores after some locations faced boycotts for selling LGBT Pride items, including transgender-oriented bathing suits and children’s items designed by a brand that also sells Satanist-inspired merchandise. ...

Last summer, Target’s stock nosedived and the company lost billions in market value after conservatives called for a boycott of the retail chain because of its Pride merchandise, especially a “tuck-friendly” swimsuit meant to obscure male genitalia.

The retailer also faced pushback for its collaboration with Abprallen, a London-based clothing-design company that openly embraces Satanism and sells merchandise celebrating violence against supposed “transphobes.” ...
