NY AG criticizes Target's decision to remove Pride merchandise and down sales.

New York Attorney General Letitia James criticized Target's decision to pull some LGBTQ-themed merchandise from stores and urged the retailer to reverse its decision. Target cited increased confrontations between shoppers and employees and incidents of products being thrown on the floor as reasons for the "adjustments" to its stock of LGBTQ-themed products. At least 14 New York officials have signed a letter regarding Target's decision. Target has faced growing criticism for carrying LGBTQ-related goods tied to Pride month, including from conservative news outlets and Republican politicians.
