Target confirmed Friday that it won’t carry Pride Month merchandise at all stores in June after the discount retailer experienced a backlash and lower sales over its collection honoring LGBTQ+ communities.

Target, which operates roughly 2,000 stores, said decisions about where to stock Pride-themed products, including adult apparel, home goods, foods and beverages, would be based on “guest insights and consumer research”.

A Target spokesperson declined to disclose the number of stores where the merchandise will not be available, but the company said its online shop would offer a full assortment. The moves were first reported by Bloomberg.

    “I bet your target is missing a pride section,” is going to be a low-key burn to some folks.

    I bet $100 to donuts that conservatives will still drive out of town to other targets to make it a big deal anyway.

      They live “out of town”, the in city Targets are likely the ones carrying it. These fucks won’t even step a foot in a big city because they’re so “full of crime” and “those people”
