On Tuesday, it was revealed that Target was forced to take immediate action and call an emergency meeting after their line of merchandise for Pride month was exposed to have been designed by a satanist and pushed LGBTQ and transgenderism onto children.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Target offers multiple items with “pride” messages on them that are available to be shipped. These bright-colored items have messages on them like “Too Queer for Here,” “We Belong Everywhere,” and “Cure Transphobia.”
In addition to these items, the retail juggernaut also provided "tuck-friendly" clothing for minors who identify as transgender and other clothing that encourages the binding or hiding of genitals.
Why did @target hire a Satanist to design pieces for their recent "Pride" clothing line?

According to a Fox News Digital exclusive, top executives rushed to ensure that the merchandise was removed from the front of stores across the southern United States in order to avoid another "Bud Light situation," in reference to the successful conservative boycott that led to the beer company's sales to plummet.
A Target insider told Fox News Digital that there were emergency calls on Friday to managers and senior directors to take immediate action to move the pride-themed merchandise away from the front sections of the company's stores.
"We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size," the insider, who's worked in the company for two decades, told Fox. "From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage."
"We call our customers ‘guests,’ there is outrage on their part. This year it is just exponentially more than any other year," the Target employee continued. "I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of a Bud Light situation."
"The call was super quick, it was 15 minutes," the insider explained about the emergency meeting. "The first 10 minutes was about how to keep your team safe and not having to advocate for Target. The last five was, ‘Move this to the back, take down the mannequins, and remove the signage.'"
Fox News Digital confirmed that stores in South Carolina, Arkansas, and Georgia have thus far moved their pride sections and more are likely to come.
Target's actions clearly show that boycotts work, however, this half measure will likely not be enough for conservative consumers. Target still features these items in their stores and prominently on their website and in other parts of the country outside of the South.
It's likely that the boycott will continue and even more drastic measures will have to be taken.
