Target has featured a colorful collection of Pride apparel, pet accessories and party supplies for years, normally showcasing the assortment at the front of stores beginning in May to celebrate Pride Month, typically observed in June to commemorate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride.
However in recent days, there have been reports of some customers trashing the Pride sections at stores and being aggressive with store workers. Target has also received calls threatening violence on its customer hotline. Target wasn't immediately able to answer if there have been any direct threats made to its Minneapolis headquarters.
One social media video shows a man taking down and stomping on a rainbow #takepride cardboard display. Others show people confronting store employees about the products.

People getting what they want through violent behavior is the reason this whole fucking country is basically a Texas cage match for the unified belt.

Listening Nicole Wallace and she gave an incredible point, The republican party has baked in the crazies into their party.
