In order to provide a safe working environment fit its employees Target has decided to remove any items that promote the LGQBT community after staff encountered aggressive customers who hate the LGBQT community.

This isn’t a legitimate news story. It’s a meme that also says Target is removing “satanic” products.

Last year, MTG posted a photo of dildoes and bondage equipment in a Target, supposedly next to kid’s toys. The photo was suspected to have been staged as Target doesn’t even sell that stuff.

Target has been subjected to this crap for a while. A few years ago, some demonstrators posted videos of themselves marching through a Target to protest trans people being allowed to use their preferred restrooms. Target has tended to be more LGBT-friendly than their competitors, so they’ve drawn more anger from anti-LGBT bigots.

@LeopoldBloom It was a news item on BBC..co.Uk so it’s legit.

@justanothername They are removing some LGBT-related products, but not "satanic" ones. TBF you didn't mention the "satanic" BS.

@LeopoldBloom That’s because the article didn’t mention any satanic items.

@justanothername Whatever. If you don't like Target, don't shop there.
