Target scales back on its LGBTQ+ merchandise ahead of Pride Month 2024
Briefly

Target says it will no longer sell its 2024 Pride Month collection in all of its stores following last year's conservative backlash over its LGBTQ+-themed merchandise. The retail giant said in a press release last week that it plans to offer its collection of products to celebrate Pride Month online and in 'select stores,' depending on 'historical sales performance.'
For years, Target has carried Pride-themed merchandise in its stores including clothes, cups, champagne, accessories, and even pet costumes. Last year, the retailer faced criticism after announcing plans to remove some Pride Month merchandise due to threats against employees' safety.
