Eyup, they're afraid of employees and other customers being harassed or physically threatened by bigots and fascists, so on one hand, it makes sense, but on the other hand, businesses shouldn't have to back down to these people, they should be fighting them every step of the way.

Fuck fascism and fuck these hateful assholes.

Nah, I get it why, but still. Like I said before June is going to be interesting for all the wrong reasons

Not all locations are doing it from what I was told by my supervisor today. She said our store isn’t removing anything.

People need to just mind their own business and let people live their lives. The pride stuff isn’t hurting anyone, stay in your lane and mind your business.

But think of the children, Jimmy! These fine upstanding Christian Evangelicals might end up having children realize they're smurfs and dykes! WE CANT HAVE THAT HAPPEN!

So I just went on Twitter and first thing I saw was a big thing about this Target stuff, including someone claiming that the LGB community is starting to "cut out" the TQ+ people... and I'm just confused. Is that an actual bigger movement in the community, that was established within the last 6-8 months, or is that just some lone idiots... or is that even some false flag shit going on?

Either way, it is such a mess and people in the LGBTQ+ community, who want to cut out potential allies within that community like that, do not understand at all, that they completely fuck themselves over with these actions.

Yeah, this has been a thing for a while. There are some people in the LGBTQ+ community that just want LGB and nothing more

I mean I always knew that there were some, but this seemed to have picked up. Maybe it was just concentrated a lot on this one Target thread I've seen though.

Maybe, but one of the things I seen was if there wasnt trans and queer people and such, then the LGB would have a lot mor eprotection and such now then what they actually and all. It is a weird deep dive

Well, as shitty as it is, that at least makes kinda sense then.

Which isn't even how it would work anyways. They'd still be exactly where they are now even if they god rid of the Transgender and Queer subset.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

I understand, but they their thinking is because everything as of late has to do with queers/drag queens/trans people and that has caused a more increas ein the hate and so on. Again, i am not agreeing with it just something I have looke dinto because I always seek information

GOP-controlled Texas House impeaches Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, triggering suspension

The Texas House of Representatives has voted to impeach scandal-plagued Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. The move Saturday triggers his immediate suspension and sets up a trial in the state Senate that could permanently remove Texas’ top lawyer from office. The historic vote came after a...

Paxton, 60, decried the move moments after many members of his own party voted to impeach, and his office pointed to internal reports that found no wrongdoing.

“The ugly spectacle in the Texas House today confirmed the outrageous impeachment plot against me was never meant to be fair or just,” Paxton said. “It was a politically motivated sham from the beginning,”

Imagine getting impeached by your own party.
