This is why you don't give in to boycotts - they'll just keep pushing if you do.

If Walmart and Target and Starbucks and Budweiser and every other targeted brand just shrugged their shoulders and carried on Pride'ing, eventually conservatives would be left with nowhere left to shop at and would lose their enthusiasm for continued boycotting.

Give an inch, they'll take a mile. These crazies will just find a new thing to demand. Probably selling contraceptives, or crayons with all the colors of the rainbow.

For real! They’re coming for our kids!! Trying to teach them sexual health, and idk about you but nothing with the word “sex” in it is appropriate for my child! Oh the humanity, why can’t we go back to the good ole days when Catholic priests were given free reign to abuse children
