I care about this bc a) it’s pandering and that irks me, b) it encourages and normalizes immoral behavior, and c) we have now seen what starts with a rainbow logo become something much more insidious, and I will not support any of it at this point.

Only way I would still patronize these places is if I had no practical alternative.

Odd, there were entire societies of people in ancient Greece and other places that were open to gay sex. Doesn't sound like born that way to me?

I'm not one to boycott a business cause I don't agree with them or their policies. Unless Target requires me to wear a Pride shirt, I'll still shop there.

Having lived in SF for 15+ years, I have no problem with gays, pride or anything else, and would not hesitate to go to any place of business where the owners/managers or anyone else was gay or into pride month.

People are people and everyone deserves to be treated with civility.

Yep, when you invite Anarchist like Antifa into your fold you are an idiot. These are people that attack anyone, Democrat and Republican alike.

I don't want to do business with ANY company (if it can be helped) that has a political agenda I don't agree with. If people start taking a stand perhaps some things will change!

If you don't want a pride T-shirt do what millions of folks do every year and not buy it. Same goes for books.
The stores are learning the hard way how pandering to any one group is affecting their bottom lines. Do I care? Not really, but if you are going to shove your politics or social engineering on me, I’m going somewhere else.

We're not talking about what people do in their bedrooms.

Prejudice is alive, well, and apparently growing. So many handwave away the basic tenets of the U.S. Constitution.

People who try to influence children into recieving Hormone treatments, which lead Sexual genital mutilation should be treated like the scum they are. If Pride made the decision to push this on children they should be thrown into the same pot as the freaks that invented this surgery in the first place.
