Opinion: There's a reason LGBTQ+ Pride merch is under attack. And it isn't all bad news

LA Times  

A Pride Month display at a Target in Daly City near San Francisco. Target ticked off the forces of intolerance with its annual Pride Month display of merchandise, although it’s been putting up rainbows at the end of May for more than a decade. A rapper whose grotesque facial tattoos would scare the living daylights out of any child I know has dropped a music video claiming that “Target is targeting our kids.” “You know they cutting these kids,” raps Forgiato Blow, “they leaving trannies with scars.” It’s remarkable how he was able to pack so much ignorance and disdain into one sentence. Even in our own generally liberal community, some parents at Saticoy Elementary School in North Hollywood made waves last week when they urged families to “keep your children home and innocent” rather than subject them to a Gay Pride and Rainbow Day Assembly on Friday. The Dodgers invited, disinvited, then reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag/charity group that calls attention to religious intolerance, to be honored at the team’s June 16 Pride Night game.
