Social media users were shocked to find out that one of Target's gay pride collection designers also sells gothic Satanic apparel on his website.
"Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean.

However, Carnell suggested more products with Target would drop later in
