The trend of conservative backlash against companies supporting LGBTQ+ communities has exploded in recent months, despite such support from corporations having been standard practice for years. Justin Wolfers, a professor of Public Policy and Economics at the University of Michigan, called these behaviors "literally terrorism." A store in Layton, Utah, meanwhile, was forced to evacuate after receiving a bomb threat, a similar tactic reportedly deployed against Anheuser-Busch.
The popular big box store chain recently announced a scaling back of its Pride Month merchandise selection, claiming to have received threats to its employees over the products. Target is the latest company being targeted online by conservatives with boycott threats over support for the LGBTQ+ community. An anti-Target song topped the iTunes sales chart on Tuesday, prompting cheers from conservatives despite negligible performance on streaming apps, like Spotify.
