They could sell clothing that said “F*ck insert group of customer base here”. Free to do so, but dumb marketking. Well, that’s what you have going on here. Target gains hardly any customers by selling trams themed clothing targeted at kids, and ‘womens’ bathing suits that have flaps to tuck in their penises. What percent of their customers would even need such a thing? A TINY fraction of 1%? None of the woke trans ideologists are all of a sudden going to say ‘Well, now that they are selling ‘womens’ bathing suits with penis flaps, I am going to start shopping there”. Not going to hurt Target as much as Bud Light or say Walmart (different customer demographics), but they are going to tick off a chunk of their customers. So the question is for Target, if its going to cause you a net loss of customers, why do it?

Stupid for Target and Bud Light but another fair question to ask is why does it upset straight people that they’re selling LGBTQ+ merchandise (or appealing to LGBTQ+ influencers)? Will their eyes bleed when they see it?

I don’t understand their outrage and have to ask a second question - who are the Karens here?
They’re targeting children for one. The ‘women’s’ bathing suits with the penis flaps were in the teen section of the store.

Do you have a link to a reputable source to back that up or is it fake news taken as fact in some right wing echo chamber?

MAGAts have no problem with actual pedophiles and groomers like Gaetz and Jordan but assume that all LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles and groomers regardless of whether there is any proof.

Fair but I don't see it the same way that you do. Are they targeting children or providing a product that some gender-questioning children might want? Why shouldn't Pride shirts be available? What if the children of a gay couple or with an LGBTQ+ aunt or uncle wants to show their support?

If this is grooming then Liam Morrison's parents were grooming him to be a homophobe when they bought him a "there are only two genders" shirt. Not to mention all those groomers who bought their kids MAGAt gear and festooned their cars, boats, etc. with MAGAt images.

You want to limit freedom of expression to things that you agree with. That isn't freedom and it isn't the American way.

I think product placement of adult underwear sizes in kids sections is poor merchandising.

Damn. Was really hoping to see some great BLM themed shows/documentaries/cartoons when Warner Brothers teamed up with Patrisse Cullors to produce programming. Apparently Warner dropped her after paying her and nothing was produced.

There are all sorts of examples of woke in the Bible. Have MAGAts even read it?
  • Helping immigrants - Jeremiah 22:3 - Thus says the LORD: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
  • Socialism - Acts 2:45 - And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
  • Globalism - Revelation 7:9 - After this I looked, and behold, ba great multitude that no one could number, cfrom every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.
Add all of the sex and violence and it deserves a ban in Florida.

On a serious note, there are many outstanding Christians and Christian churches out there. Far more so than the shitty ones. We’re just at a moment where the shitty have been given a megaphone.

It's not that simple - Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Sex can be much more complicated than it at first seems. According to the simple scenario, the presence or absence of a Y chromosome is what counts: with it, you are male, and without it, you are female. But doctors have long known that some people straddle the boundary—their sex chromosomes say one thing, but their gonads (ovaries or testes) or sexual anatomy say another. Parents of children with these kinds of conditions—known as intersex conditions, or differences or disorders of sex development (DSDs)—often face difficult decisions about whether to bring up their child as a boy or a girl. Some researchers now say that as many as 1 person in 100 has some form of DSD.

Maybe you're right BDK ...

Facts:
- some people are LGBTQ+.
- there are LGBTQ+ families with children.
- there are people who enjoy or feel more comfortable dressing in clothing frequently associated with the opposite gender.

If stating a fact isn't grooming then telling children about these facts and others like them isn't grooming.

Neil Patrick Harris, Bianca Del Rio and the 'Drag Me to Dinner' cast talk drag backlash

The show's emcee, drag king Murray Hill, also praises Hulu for "not backing down. They're not pulling queer programming like other networks are."



'I think some people just need to get the stick out of their a** and just enjoy it'

Cover your eyes and ears MAGAts, this might offend your fragile sensibilities.

All they need to do is reclassify high-capacity semi-automatics into the same BATF category as machine guns. Simple to do. Gives the kids a chance to make a break for freedom while the shooter reloads. Definitely more sporting trying to hit them while they're running - kids should have at least as much chance as ducks get. School shooters will just need to put in the their time on the range and up their game
