Target faces backlash over removal of LGBTQ merchandise from stores ahead of Pride month.

TL;DR Summary
Target is removing certain LGBTQ merchandise from its stores and making other changes nationwide ahead of Pride month due to threats impacting its team members' sense of safety and well-being while at work. The company declined to specify which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were "tuck friendly" women's swimsuits that allow trans women to conceal their private parts. The moves come as beer brand Bud Light is still grappling with a backlash from customers angered by its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
