US Retailer Launches Controversial Swimsuit for Women: “More Coverage” and “Tuck-Friendly”

Target Faces Backlash Over LGBT-Themed Swimwear

The latest line of LGBT-themed swimwear from retail giant Target has sparked controversy on social media. Comedian Chrissie Mayr tweeted about the swimsuits, which feature “tuck-friendly construction” and “extra crotch coverage,” and included images of herself wearing them. Mayr’s tweet, which contained offensive language, received backlash from many Twitter users who found the swimsuits in poor taste.

Boycott Target?
