In response to the boycott, Target said it was removing some LGBTQ+ items 'that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.'
Pride Month merchandise is displayed at a Target store on May 31, 2023, in San Francisco, California. On June 5, 2023, several LGBTQ+ organizations called on Target to respond to the current boycotts and reaffirm its support for the LGBTQ+ community.The statement issued by the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ organizations included a list of demands for Target.
"Target, and all businesses, can leverage the support of LGBTQ+ organizations to navigate this hate, so that together, we can let extremists know unequivocally that, just as with every other failed anti- LGBTQ+ campaign of the past, fear will not win," the statement said. The statement also said that"70% of non-LGBTQ+ people believe companies should publicly support and include the LGBTQ+ community through practices like hiring, advertising and sponsorships."
