   Disappointing, but hardly surprising.

   Target removing some LGBTQ merchandise following customer backlash.

     "While various Pride Collection products are under review, the only ones now being removed are the LGBTQ brand Abprallen, which has come under scrutiny for its association with British designer Eric Carnell.

     Carnell has faced social media backlash for designing merchandise with images of pentagrams, horned skulls and other Satanic products."

     you know... I appreciate the satanic panic element to the story... because the complainers/threat actors are the same demographic.

     @thegibson @snipe It saddens me that in this day and age we STILL have satanic panics. Will those damned Christians ever leave people in peace?
