People are giving corporations two options, support Pride and get criticized by everyone or don’t, and then they’re acting surprised that corporations choose the option most likely to make them more money.
There’s no evidence to support the idea that Target stopped stocking Pride merch in some of its stores because of criticism from ‘everyone.’ It was because in certain parts of the country unhinged right wing freaks were attacking employees and trashing displays. Rather than spend the money to increase security in those areas and support their employees being harassed by violent bigots, they decided to just let the violent bigots win.
Much worse seeing no pride merch at my local Target this year.
