Target Bends To Anti-LGBTQ Forces.

The company did not specify which items were being removed, but misinformation in recent days has centered on its children’s bathing suits that were falsely labeled as “tuck-friendly” by prominent conservative groups and media outlets. The tuck-friendly swimming suits were only for adults, the Associated Press reported. Tuck-friendly swimwear offers extra coverage to allow trans women without gender-affirming operations to conceal their genitalia. Some conservatives have also called for a boycott of Target over its partnership with the U.K.-based brand Abprallen, which they claim features Satanist designs. Some of the Abprallen pieces that Target was selling include a sweatshirt featuring an image of a snake with the line, “Cure transphobia, not trans people,” as well as a messenger bag that reads, “We belong everywhere.”

Culture War hell has descended upon America once again with certain forces realizing how much money that can be raised when the LGBTQ community is attacked. Corporations are increasingly in the crosshairs of the war and pro-equality endorsements that seemed innocuous just a few years ago and now are red meat to anti LGBTQ bigotry. Most of the these hate filled cultural swells eventually die down and the money beg dries up at which point they move to the next target. Until the happens this Pride Month will be interesting and quite unlike others in the recent past.
