"Target faces backlash over Pride Collection items and employee dissatisfaction"

Target has removed several items from their LGBTQ-themed clothing line, including pride-themed children's clothing and "tuck friendly" swimsuits, following anti-LGBTQ threats and confrontations from store visitors nationally. The corporation did not disclose which items were taken off shelves. Many LGBTQ advocacy organizations, including GLAAD, have condemned the removal of Pride collection items. Asheville residents can take a stand against the recall by making their position known to businesses and legislators participating in or complying with anti-LGBTQ sentiment.
