Target caves in to hater complaints

Maybe you're not aware that many retailers have sold pride stuff and celebrated pride month for years, without any push back. Most people on the right are generally about live and let live. It's only when a retailers starts selling items targeting children, including expressly transsexual clothing, that people suddenly have a problem. So making this about you and being gay is irrelevant. This is you projecting your own paranoia.

If you want to target the sexuality of children, that should be criminal. Unless the child is your own, it's literally none of your business, and frankly sick. And making it your business is grooming. Transexuality is either a mental illness, called gender dysphoria, or a paraphilia, called autogynephilia/autoandrophilia. Pushing a mental illness or sexual fetish on children is just evil. Grooming them into becoming LGBT is evil. On one hand, it could deprive them of the ability, or even option (in the case of "gender-affirming surgery/puberty-blockers"), to have children of their own one day, and on the other, it could lead to permanently mutilating their genitals. Somehow the latter is bad for Muslims to do but oddly okay for secular westerners to do.

Children cannot give consent (people use to universally understand this), and do not understand what LGBT stuff means. Without understanding and consent, there is no real choice. It's indoctrination....by groomers.

All a big fat strawman in light of the fact that toddlers generally rely on their parents to buy their clothes. Since you're ok with that, I assume you really have nothing more to bitch about. It's not like complete strangers are dressing up kids in pride clothes

Who said I was okay with parents grooming their own children?

Now you're just deflecting, because you obviously can't/won't address most of my points:
Why is genital mutilation bad for Muslims to do but not secular westerners?
Why are you arguing about gays when it's specifically the targeting of children? Or are those one in the same to you?
Why do you think it must be hate to protect children from being sexualized?
Why are you defending the sexualization of children?

You're trying to make this about transgender kids. That's a different topic. As per the OP, we are discussing the morality of stores selling or not selling LGBTQ positive products. It's not an excuse to spue hate and vitriol at transgenderism.

No, the only reason Target is facing backlash is specifically for marketing LGBT clothing to children. That includes gay, lesbian, and transgender. Trying to influence the sexuality of children is grooming and it's sick.

Many retailers have marketed pride item to adults for years, without anyone saying boo. You should take a little bit to understand the issue you're posting about.
