I’m interested in see more red, white and blue than rainbow.
I understood was one section. I remember one section for black history month, and of course thanksgiving or Xmas. But I go to buy what appeals to me, and ignore the rest. People are just being political nit pickers against these retail cos. Like now, Chic-fill a , I like the salad, not my business if they have training to teach people to act right. Need that training in CD maybe.

I will not spend money in stores or restaurants that support the push for Pride on children. Adults can do what they want in the bedroom - it's none of my concern - but why do they feel it's everybody else's? I'm sick of everything being pushed in my face whether it offends me or not - you don't gain my support from constantly pushing your agenda - be it pro @A, Trans, BLM, anti-abortion, proabortion ect. And actually the more they push - the less enthusiastic or empathetic I am to any of the causes.

I'm not sure what pushing it in your face means. Has someone personally accosted you? Where I live I see Trump 2024 signs in a lot of places, but I don't consider that being pushed in my face. I just ignore it. Now, if someone came up to me promoting Trump then I'd have to tell them how I feel about that. But I don't think I've ever actually had any kind of agenda pushed in my face.

That being said, there is one local business that had Trump flags in their window. They have since taken them down. I'll not shop there anymore.
There is another local business who has a Biden is not my president, Let's Go Brandon and Looney Tunes picture of Biden on their property. I'll definitely not ever go there again.
But I don't consider that being pushed in my face. I just appreciate them showing me who they are so that I don't patronize them.

Be honest , did you notice the pride month thing the last 10 yrs ?? Cause it’s been around. Or it’s a political outrage being pushed by the right. Be honest with yourself.

The complainers are the ones claiming "shoving", not the actual people supporting it. And the complainers go out of their way to find things to get offended by, so they can then rant and scream before everyone, because that's how they get their twisted kicks.

Thankfully you (and I) don't do that, so aren't impacted. The solution is a very simple approach. But we can't change the anti-freedom loonies.

Given I've seen pride displays in Walmart, Target, Publix, Winn Dixie and a few others, I ask, where is everyone going to shop?

I'm going to love all these stores being empty - or you all just say you're boycotting and you all scuttle in there anyway?

Hmm, I haven't seen the displays in my Walmart. But I usually only go to the food and pharmacy.

That’s laughable. Target isn’t going anywhere given the other option is Walmart.
