    Do you have video of these so called violent acts you claim? Or are they figments of Left Wing Propaganda like Trump/Russia Collusion, a massive plot that seemed to include everyone but Trump and Russia, or is it like too much of the Left's claim that Hunter's Laptop was 'Russian Disinformation?

    Are you noticing that much of America understands that some folks on the Left have a real problem with making things up, claiming to be 'threatened' when actually all they are encountering is someone disagreeing with them?

    GET WOKE, GO BROKE: Bud Light, Target Bleeding Money As Sensible Folks Turn From The Twisted Madness Directed At Children and Shop Elsewhere. The Dollar Amount Is Staggering.

    '
    Target and Bud Light have lost a whopping $28 billion combined amid marketing decisions geared toward transgender individual.'

    'Bud Light promoted transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for its March Madness contest, costing parent company Anheuser-Busch nearly $19 billion in fallout. Shares are also down 14% amid the boycotts.'

    Target's LGBTQ-themed items that aimed transgender idealogy at children has 'cut off more than $9 billion in market value with shares down 12.6%, according to the outlet.'

    “I think we’ll see more brands be very cautious about getting into the middle of some of these really controversial issues.”

    I am going to start addressing your tangents one falsification at a time and omitting everything after the first one.

    Direct quote me saying there have been any violent acts.

    Exactly my point. You're complaining about folks simply expressing disagreement. No one prevented Target from carrying out their duties or shouted them down, or impeded them in any way. They simply expressed disgust at the Satan associated Trans Grooming aimed at children.

    Do you recognize the right of your fellow Americans to publicly disagree with you in a lawful manner?

    Times have changed. Homosexuals are no longer discriminated against in the workplace, in housing, they can marry, etc. They've done it. The issue is over.

    I see no need to publicly celebrate and advertise their homosexuality any more than I would want to publicly celebrate my heterosexuality. It's none of my business what other people's sexual orientations are. I don't care, and I don't want to know. And (here is probably the bottom line) I don't respect the celebration or the advertising.

    Keep it to yourself, ffs!

    The issue isn't even close to over when something as simple as a pride shirt drives you over the edge.

    The issues that matter are settled: anti-discrimination laws, marriage rights, etc. I'm perfectly fine with that. Ordinary heterosexuals don't broadcast it on their clothing. So if gay people truly want equality with hetero people, then they should just keep their sexuality to themselves like most heteros do. Our sexuality nobody's business but our own.

    We are not playing this game. It’s so boring while you fire off claims and dodge every question thrown your way.

    You have stated that I have claimed there are violent acts being committed, source where I said that.

    Do you hold the same requirements for religious symbolism?

    Because there seems to be a major double standard from most people that want to delete any LGBT representation — I have seen more than one carry around a constant in your face necklace. Jesus shirts. Bumperstickers. Clothing.

    Should they all shut the **** up and keep it to themselves like you are demanding LGBT groups?

    You are either ignorant or intentionally lying because people made it extremely clear that what upset them was the targeting of children with "tucking" clothing for five year olds and infants as well as "chest Binders" for young girls. Yes, people will get upset and boycott over the targeting of their kids.

    Where representation is necessary is in our laws that protect the rights of all people, including LGBT. That's it. Other than that, people should keep their sex life private.

    Thanks for admitting that their have been no violent acts by the Right in the Target Grooming push, just lawful expressions of disagreement.

    I asked you to affirm the right to lawfully and publically state disagreement, and of course, you dodged.

    Target Store Bomb Threats Sent By Angry Pro-Pride Left-Winger!

    FALSE FLAG

    'After several days of telling the media that Target’s stores were under threat from people who objected to their pride display and satanic merchandise to celebrate transgender ideology, an email that detailed a bomb threat was sent to media outlets.'

    'It should not surprise you to find out that this email was sent by an LGBTQ fanatic who was upset that the store removed some items from its Pride display. Target started pulling some of the items from their stores after boycotts were organized by customers who don’t want to see Pride merchandise targeted at their children including bathing suits with tucking technology.'

    'The email read, “Target is full of [redacted] cowards who turned their back on the LGBTQ community and decided to cater to the homophobic right wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store we won’t stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down we are sending you a message we placed a bomb in the following targets.”'

    'The terrorist then listed five different targets in Ohio and Pennsylvania and then continued, “We will continue to bomb your targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise we will not be erased we won’t go quietly.”'

    'It is not surprising that the only actual threat target has been able to produce was written by someone who is not right wing but is in fact a radical LGBT supporter. Most of us knew when we saw the allegation that Target had received threats that it wasn’t likely that anyone on our side had done it. It was more likely that an unhinged transgender activist'

    Here's why pushing trans clothing is offensive--it confuses and destabilizes youngsters into wondering if they are male or female. It could be construed as a type of child abuse, only for commercial purposes.

    Do you advocate for confusing children?

    As Zorro has pointed out this is one of the standard tactics for radical leftists and has been since at least 2020. They love to lie and they consider lying for the cause to be not just ok but their best tactic. You saw this with fake race hate hoaxes, with Antifa and BLM violence, and really against anyone who opposes their radical agenda for any reason.

    The irony is that the radical left really does routinely use or threaten violence where as it is extremely rare to find conservatives who do while all the other conservatives immediately denounce the few who do. To compare leftists willingly lie and run cover for their fellow violent leftists.

    Archeologists Uncover Target Store Ruins From Sodom And Gomorrah

    [​IMG]

    'ISRAEL — Archeologists have uncovered what they believe are the final remains of Sodom and Gomorrah's beloved Target store.'

    "You could still make out the display for tuck-friendly tunics," said Dr. Sally Mcneil. "It's clear these perverted rapists were massive Target fans."'

    'According to the Israeli excavators, researchers began searching for a possible Target store after unearthing hundreds of pairs of yoga pants. "We knew we had to be close," said Dr. McNeil. "As soon as we found the sign saying 'Satan Respects Pronouns', we knew we'd found it. Our survey indicates the Sodomites had installed curbside pick-up to the south, and a gender mutilation station for children at the north entrance. It was really a very modern society, not so different from our own."'

    The things that may be uncovered by digging.

    Why should they shut up? No one has to keep anything to themselves to appease those who are easily offended. They are free to speak. I don't like everything I see and hear either, but in a free country you just have to accept the fact that people are free to speak and celebrate whatever they want.

    Those swim suits came only in adult sizes, and I can guarantee you kids would have no idea about how those suits were any different from normal suits. Even you wouldn't know unless you were told. And why the heck would seeing such suit get your wondering which sex you are? Listen to yourself.

    I'm not questioning their legal right to speak. But we also have the right in this country to hold some speech in disrespect, which, in this case, I do.

    You didn’t answer the question.

    Would you like to try again? Why are you not demanding people keep their chosen faith structure private since you believe no one is allowed representation in public?

    Ok, so you do not respect the LGBT unless they shut up about it, but you would not go as far as criminalizing speech about it (like schools are doing).

    So now we are needing to censor what stores sell to “protect the children” even though it isn’t being sold to children, right after y’all are banning what can be spoken of in schools up to grade 12 and banning all discussion on periods (also to “protect the children”) — but the same groups think children can understand there is a sky spirit that will burn them in hell for all eternity if they upset him, they can also understand active shooter drills and best of all at around age 12 they can understand if they are raped they will be forced to carry that child to term.

    The only people confused are the religibigots — seeing a shirt doesn’t confuse a child. Children are not that stupid.

    I wonder how long it is going to take y’all to ban these materials from existing, ban people from wearing certain graphics, and maybe just ban these people from existing entirely — because that seems to be the road we are on.

    Sad deflection is sad.

    You can try also since it seems to be too difficult for others. Why should gay people not be allowed public representation on goods but peoples chosen religious preference are?

    It depends on what the speech is. It's one thing to discuss the presence of gay people in a high school level Sociology or Political Science class, and quite another to be explaining gay sex practices by discussion or in books to elementary and middle school students. To answer your question, you would have to be more specific.

    Organized opposition to it seems more like a religion.
