Target's LGBTQ support sparks controversy and financial loss.
TL;DR Summary
Target has donated $2.1 million to the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), an LGBTQ advocacy group that has pressured school districts to not tell parents if their children identify as another gender. GLSEN has also opposed efforts by legislators to ban LGBTQ books with sexually explicit themes. Target has faced backlash and boycott calls over its “PRIDE” collection, which includes LGBTQ-friendly clothing for children. The company has removed some items from its stores and made other changes to its merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month.
