LGBTQ activists called for new campaigns Monday to warn corporate leaders not to heed opposing voices while chastening those who relent in the face of public pressure.
The call to action follows Target’s announcement last week it removed products and relocated Pride displays to the back of certain stores in response to public protest, as reported by Breitbart News.
“We need a strategy on how to deal with corporations that are experiencing enormous pressure to throw LGBTQ people under the bus. We need to send a clear message to corporate America that if you’re our ally — if you are truly our ally — you need to be our ally, not just when it’s easy but also when it’s hard,” said CA State Senator Scott Weiner in a statement.
