LGBTQ activists want the rest of America to think they are the most threatened group in the world, victimized by “violence” even if one simply uses the wrong pronoun for them.
But the controversy engulfing Target as Pride Month starts shows they can also dish it out.
Breitbart News reported on Tuesday that far-left LGBTQ radicals “deluged” Target with bomb threats after the company reacted to conservative complaints about its prominent gay-pride merchandising scheme.
As The Free Press reported last week, the retail giant removed or relocated much of its Pride Month displays from stores in Florida and the rest of the South following reports that conservatives denounced the targeting of children with LGBTQ-friendly apparel and a clothing line inspired by a Satanist.
Breitbart reported that “several” Target stores in at least three states — Utah, Pennsylvania, and Ohio — received threats of violence.

In Cleveland, for example, Target received an email referencing five of its stores.
“Target is full of cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right-wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store,” the email reportedly read, Breitbart reported.
“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” (sic). The emailer then identified the addresses.
One Target in Utah was actually evacuated after the threat was reported.
Police in many locations say the threats were not “credible,” Breitbart noted.

Still, as LGBTQ activists push back on laws in red states that are intended to protect children from permanent, life-altering sex-change procedures and treatments, one activist is blaming conservatives and giving Target an ultimatum.
“Extremist groups and individuals work to divide us and ultimately don’t just want rainbow products to disappear, they want us to disappear,” Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement quoted by Breitbart.
“For the past decade, the LGBTQ+ community has celebrated Pride with Target − it’s time that Target stands with us and doubles-down on their commitment to us.”
