Target loses $9B in week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing By Ariel Zilber

A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion. As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 — capping a week-long tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion.

That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization. Target said on Tuesday it was removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays. “Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement on Tuesday.

The kids are way too young to understand what the colors mean. It is their parents showing support for gays and Trans because you rightys hate them and make their lives more miserable.

Pay attention, Nordy:

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

You are getting more and more difficult to love, Nordy.

Seriously.

Were going to get them too. As Ive been saying,.....we can do this to anyone we want any time we want. And will. Any corporation that donates or supports any left wing organization or donates to any left wing politician will get the same treatment. Time to bring these fucks to heel and put them under the boot. Submit or die.

Encouraging hate against others because we don't like their political views (or clothing choices) just adds to the hate already existing, distorts capitalism, and ignores encouragement to love others.
