The thing that's killing me is, wingnuts go after Target over their Pride displays EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Every single year they've done this. But it's working this year -- because badly co-opted news organizations are pushing disinformation-riddled stories to normalize bigoted corporate and legislative actions. Just another day in the global, far right power grab.

  Target becomes latest company to suffer backlash for LGBTQ+ support, pulls some Pride month clothing
  
  Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers. Target declined to confirm which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” adult women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts. Designs by Abprallen, a London-based company which designs and sells occult- and satanic-themed LGBTQ+ clothing and accessories, have also sparked a backlash.

Managing editor @TruthOrFictionProfile photo shows me, a white woman with long light brown hair and brown eyes, next to a sign that says: "SAG supports you" with "you" crossed out and "me" written in. I look very pleased with myself. Header photo is an image of a sunset. (Both taken by me.)
