Several targets threatened due to ‘homophobic right-wing bigots’.
Target Stores Receive Bomb Threats Amid LGBT Controversy
The retail giant Target has been hit with chaos as multiple stores across the country received bomb threats amid controversy over the company’s promotion of the LGBT agenda.
In Cleveland, news station WOIO-TV received a bomb threat on Friday afternoon targeting five Target locations. The message, sent via email, made it very clear that it was in response to a perceived threat against gay and transgender people.
“We won’t stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following targets.”
Five addresses were listed, four in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania.
“We will continue to bomb your targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise,”
the message continued. “We will not be erased, we won’t go quietly.”
WOIO reported the threat to local law enforcement and the FBI. The threat does not appear to have been legitimate, although the station reported that “precautions were quickly taken to ensure no one got hurt.”
Similarly, in Utah, KUTV-TV reported that a Target in Layton was evacuated after false bomb threats were made. Other Target locations were threatened in Salt Lake City, Taylorsville and Provo, but only the Layton store appears to have been evacuated.
Police Sgt. John Ottesen noted that Target’s LGBT merchandise, which has caused a bit of a cultural kerfuffle in recent weeks, was specifically mentioned in the Utah threats.
Not unlike Bud Light, Target has found itself smack-dab in the center of a raging cultural battle over hot-button LGBT issues, particularly transgenderism.
The retailer came under a searing spotlight when reports began circulating that its “Pride” items not only targeted minors, but had actual ties to Satan.
The backlash intensified when “tuck-friendly” swimsuits with “extra crotch coverage” were discovered for sale at Target. “Tucking” is a practice in which men conceal the outline of their genitals in an attempt to appear female.
Target has lost roughly $9 billion in market value since the controversy began.
The company has been accused of catering to the homophobic right-wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store. The threats received by Target stores across the country are a response to this perceived threat against the LGBT community.
Target must take a stand and bring back their LGBT merchandise. The far right will not stop until they do. We will not be erased, we won’t go quietly.
