Why Are People Boycotting Target

Target is removing some items and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise after intense backlash from some shoppers ahead of Pride month. The backlash was due to the retailer's hostile reaction over Pride merch. The company has faced boycotts over its policy to let customers use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity, not the one that matches their birth gender.

The American Family Association (AFA) has called for a boycott of Target stores due to its policy of allowing transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice.
