Target will pull some of the LGBTQ merchandise from its annual Pride Month collection after receiving threats and backlash, the company announced Tuesday.
Target, one of the largest retailers in the country, said it had offered Pride-positive products, including rainbow shirts for men and a children's book about pronouns, around June for decades, according to The Washington Post. But this year, spokeswoman Kayla Castañeda said in a statement, the pro-LGBTQ collection sparked backlash and threats against staff safety.
