Story by Giulia Carbonaro • Yesterday 4:48 AM--Target has removed some of its LGBTQ+ merchandise from its stores ahead of Pride month in June, after a controversy around its "tuck-friendly" swimsuits caused a backlash, the retailer's shares fell and some staff reported "threats."
The swimsuits, which allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to hide their private parts, caused a stir from critics who accused the American retailer of trying to sell the product to children. Target told the Associated Press that kids' swimsuits in the Pride collection did not include the "tuck-friendly" label that angered so many customers. One kids' black swimskirt for sale at Target featured a tag reading: "Thoughtfully Fit on Multiple Body Types and Gender Expressions."
