Target is facing more major backlash. But this time, it's not from conservatives.
Now the LGBT mobs are all ganging up on Target for backing off of their efforts to groom kids, with more than 200 LGBT groups demanding Target issue a public apology for moving some of their pride displays towards the back of the store.
The Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD are two of the major progressive organizations targeting Target, but they are joined by 200 other leftwing organizations that are hounding Target to bow to the LGBT mob.

The organizations laid out a three-part demand that calls on Target to restock all the Pride merchandise both in stores and online, ensure the safety of Target employees and release a statement "reaffirming their commitment to the LGBTQ+ community" within 24 hours.
I love how they put the deadline in there. It makes it feel like a legitimate hostage situation.
Although it's not entirely clear what will happen after 24 hours.
But at least the LGBT groups are making clear what we on the right have been saying all along:
"When it comes to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, there is no such thing as neutrality," the LGTBQ coalition said.

You're either with the rainbow brigade completely, or not at all. Sorry, "LGB drop the T" people.
Of course, this response and threat from the LGBT coalition isn't surprising.
While Target alleged without providing evidence that there were threats of violence from conservatives over the transgender clothing line, LGBT advocates actually made threats of violence, including bomb threats, after Target moved their displays.
I see this threat from the rainbow mob and Target's paralysis as a good thing. If they tick off both sides of the culture war, as Bud Light did, it will only serve to hasten their demise.
So I say:
