Photos: Anybody buying that 'Pride' merchandise at Target?
By Monica Showalter

Late last December, while shopping at Target, I noticed something peculiar about the wrapping paper in Christmas clearance merchandise: Nobody was buying the gay pride-themed items, despite the fact that they were marked down to 90 cents a roll.



Now that there's been a hullaballoo at Target over its aggressive merchandising of LGBTQ+ promotional items, which drove its stock down for a period, and forced it to move its prominent displays in some outlets, how are those sales going?

Well, on a visit to Target on Balboa Avenue in San Diego on May 30, where the merchandise had just been pulled back from immediate visibility and the controversy was roaring, store traffic appeared normal, but there were lots of fully stocked LGBTQ+ merchandise displays throughout the store in different departments that didn't seem to be drawing buyers. I took pictures of these here:

Coming soon to a landfill near you. Assuming homeless shelters can't give them away.

JUST IN: Target's latest hire is a "Pride Strategist" — who's been hired to bring a "whole new LGBT spirit to Christmas."
In a statement he said: "Time to whip out the ... Glitter & Hellfire ... flamethrowers and rip that old world to shreds darlings."

Target's newest pride strategist bringing a whole new LGBT spirit to Christmas

Gay Santas and LGBT-themed nutcrackers are set to line the shelves at Target this Christmas season as the retail giant makes another foray into the world of pride merchandise.

Erik Thompson, who markets himself as a "Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist & Pride Lead," is Target's latest leader for multicultural merchandising.

He announced his partnership with Target earlier this week in an Instagram post, citing the backlash and drop in sales that the retailer endured as a result of its Pride month merchandise featuring a "tuck-friendly" swimsuit.

"Honored to get to start a new body of work and lead Target's LGBTQIA+ multicultural merchandising strategy and Pride businesses for the company and the LGBTQIA+ & Allied communities across the the [sic] nation," Thompson, who goes by the username "gaycruella" on Instagram, said in the caption.

"Time to whip out the ... Glitter & Hellfire ... flamethrowers and rip that old world to shreds darlings."   ...
Yeah, you'll see hellfire soon enough, bud.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Target lost my business years ago.
