For the first time in a long time, I stopped by a Target store the other day to pick up something specific that I knew they carried.
I was unprepared for the magnitude of the "in your face" LGBTQIA+ display in the front of the store, emphasizing transgenderism.
Do they know that according to 2022 Gallup data, just 0.6 percent of U.S. adults consider themselves to be transgender?
Shelf space in big box stores is very highly valued-- -so this clearly is about something other than profit.
Some thoughts as we slouch toward Sodom in preparation for the so-called "Gay Pride Month" of June.
Be informed, not misled.
Is all this effort directed at 0.6 % of the market?
The transgender push shouldn't be surprising coming from Target, but it is.
Last year, they collaborated with “queer-owned” brands, even promoting chest binders to flatten women’s breasts.
Some years ago, Target made waves after doing away with gender-based labeling in the toy aisle in order to “help strike a better balance” and cater to those who were “frustrated or limited by the way things are presented.”
Target also prompted boycotts after allowing men to use women’s restrooms in the name of woke.
This year, Target is rolling out a “tuck-friendly” bathing suit designed to help biological men “tuck” their genitals away to appear more feminine.
One bathing suit, created in partnership with Humankind, states it is “designed for comfort & confidence” and created with “tuck-friendly construction.”
This is far from the only questionable item offered by Target this year. The adult section features shirts emblazoned with declarations including “Live Laugh Lesbian,” “Not a Phase,” “Queer Queer Queer Queer,” and “Super Queer.”
The company also rolled out pride collection items specifically for children and babies, featuring onesies and shirts reading “Bien Proud!” in the colors of the “Progress Pride” flag, which contains additional colors for minorities and transgender individuals. One baby bib reads, “I Am Proud of You Always,” and the store offers an array of other pride-themed items for children and babies — from dresses to shoes to socks.
Target also features a “family” section with matching pride items. For example, one image shows two women in blue pride shirts and two young boys in pink pride shirts.
A quick look at the “LGBTQIA+” book section you find it includes Bye Bye, Binary by Eric Geron, marketed to 4-8 year-olds, as well as "The Pronoun Book" by Chris Ayala-Kronos, which is suggested for children 0-3 years old.
So, for Target and other "allies," it is not just about the 0.6%.
It's about indoctrinating and grooming the next generation from age "0" up. It's about creating an "alliance" to perpetuate the movement.
The medical community cheers on Target and other allies because they're good for business.
Grand View gives a revenue forecast of $5 billion for the transgender business by 2030.

Takeaway
A nation founded upon Judeo-Christian values and principles now finds itself a nation obsessed with killing unwanted unborn babies calling it "women's healthcare," while indoctrinating those kids who escape abortion, convincing them they were born in the wrong body---creating a new medical industry of $2 billion for mutilating their bodies---calling it "gender-affirming healthcare."
Pray for our country. May God forgive us.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Prayerful.
