Target Boycott Over LGBTQ+ Products Is 'Literally Terrorism': Economist
boycott Target over Pride-themed products, including reported threats to store employees, is "literally terrorism," an economist said on Thursday.Target was prompted to remove its Pride-themed products after threats were reportedly made to store employees in the midst of anti-LGBTQ+ backlash. The retailer will be pulling the items "at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior" from customers, Kayla Castaneda, a Target spokesperson, said on Tuesday.The decision to pull the products from some stores in the South comes just days before the beginning of Pride month in June.
