Ep 805 | One Year of My Target Boycott (And They're Queerer Than Ever)

Today we're talking about the one-year anniversary of our Target boycott. Last year, Target announced it would start selling chest binders amid its "Pride Month" collection, which was a step too far. We look back at Target's decision and how dangerous and damaging it is to encourage gender confusion in this popular brand for young people. We look at Target's Corporate Equality Index rating and why the corporation cares more about being progressive than about pleasing its customers. This seems to be reflected in its stock downfall over the past year, though some have presented inflation as the reason for that. Then, we take a look at this year's Target Pride collection, which includes items for ... babies?! We discuss how this ideology is not loving in any way, but rather just a cruel affirmation that people are a mistake, and we share what message would actually be loving to these people. We also share an encouraging Mother's Day message for those who are not mothers, no matter the reason: Your highest calling according to Jesus is not in fact motherhood, but being obedient and glorifying to Christ, and that calling starts now.
