the Speakeasy: Flipping Tables in Target | Episode 247

In recent weeks, there has been notable tension within the Christian conservative space following Target's 2023 Pride campaign, which many feel is unnecessarily aimed at children and has even partnered with a controversial Satanist graphic designer. The controversial campaign, which includes contentious items like tuck-friendly bathing suits for adolescents and questionable partnerships with organizations like GLSEN, has raised concerns and fueled debates about potential boycotts. Amidst this tension, some conservatives are resorting to disruptive behaviors in stores and berating low-level employees, which has been met with backlash from others within the same community who believe that this isn't the appropriate course of action. While there's a consensus that companies behaving against certain beliefs should face consequences, there's a growing conversation about the right way to respond - whether through boycotts, dialogues, or other means - without misusing biblical references or exploiting the situation for individual narratives.
