| Target shopper tears down Pride sign as fury over LGBTQ merch spills into aisles |
| 2023-05-26 |
| [NYPOST] Target shoppers fuming over the retailer’s LGBTQ merchandise — including "tuck-friendly" swimwear — have stormed some stores to tear down Pride signs, badger workers and even leave a case of Bud Light alongside the offending items. The Minneapolis-based chain — which has lost $9 billion in the last week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing — has announced it will remove some of the offending items partly due to their workers’ safety fears. The online fury spilling over into the aisles includes one MAGA hat-wearing provocateur who was filmed ripping down a "#TakePride" sign from a clothing rack of LGBTQ apparel. Ethan Schmidt — a 24-year-old far-right internet personality who previously made headlines for his off-color remarks — is seen tossing the rainbow-colored sign to the floor before stomping on it and kicking it in the 19-second clip. Another self-proclaimed patriot and activist, Scott LoBaido, filmed himself on Wednesday at a Staten Island Target location shouting: "Memorial Day weekend, where is the display supporting and showing homage to the men and women of the military?" |

| #6 which has lost $9 billion in the last week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing Bullshit. They lost that as a vote of no confidence with their closing stores rampant with flash mob robberies. Now they've gone and insulted the polite people who pay for things. If I had chips, I'd cash them. |

| #4 The Minneapolis-based chain — which has lost $9 billion in the last week... Is it too much to ask for a bit of accuracy here? They lost $9b... in the market value of their common stock shares. |

| #2 partly due to their workers’ safety fears. Partly due? You mean your workers' safety is not a numbero uno priority? Uh-huh, you just can't admit that many people just hate the shit you are selling and the message YOU are sending. The violent ones are the ones Tar-zhay is catering to. |

| #1 "safety fears." Target senior management and Target senior management alone is responsible for putting their employees in whatever danger they face. No other retailer seems to have to worry about their employees...yet. Senior managers, take note. |
