In early May, 2024, Target announced that it will be selling “pride” (i.e. pro-homosexual) merchandise in select stores. But, Target is acting cautiously to avoid the boycotts and protests that happened last year. According to reports:
“Target is cutting back on the number of its stores that will car[r]y Pride Month-related merchandise in June, a decision that comes after the retail chain last year faced a backlash and threats over some of the products.
“Minneapolis-based Target said in a statement that its Pride merchandise will be available next month ‘in select stores, based on historical sales performance.’ A spokeswoman declined to disclose the number of stores that won’t be carrying the merchandise. But a full assortment will be offered online, Target said.”

Target is still selling “pride” items on its online store. But, they are treading lightly, for fear of public backlash. Reports indicate that sales went down over 5% in 2023 (while Target’s online store dropped over 10%), and the company is stepping back in its promotion of sin.
It is also difficult to find any “pride” clothing for children. This is a result of last year’s reports that the company was selling immoral “transgender” clothing for children. This is certainly a victory, but we should not put down our guard. Instead, we should keep up the fight until all such items are removed.
