Nevertheless, the three items were ultimately pulled by Target after it faced backlash over its Pride merchandise, Carnell wrote in his statement. One was a sweatshirt featuring an image of a serpent wrapped around a winged staff - a typical symbol of the medical community - along with the slogan “Cure Transphobia, Not Trans People.”Īnother was a messenger bag with a UFO image and the phrase “Too Queer for Here,” and the third was a tote bag with images of planets and the line “We Belong Everywhere.”
Italy hasn’t created a ‘Family Pride Month’ in response to LGBTQ+ celebrations “They are pushing transgender onto children and making it ‘cute’ for kids to worship Satan. They have just partnered with a Satanist designer ‘Abprallen’ and these are a few of the designs pictured below,” wrote one user on Facebook who shared the post.
THE FACTS: Social media users are claiming Target is selling LGBTQ+ pride apparel with a decidedly satanic vibe.Ī widely shared post features a collage of images that includes the headline of an article that reads: “Target Partners With Satanist Designer Abprallen for Gay Pride Collection,” along with various images of the company’s supposed apparel.Īmong them is a photo of a man wearing a black shirt with a purple goat head on it and the phrase “Satan Respects Pronouns.” Another image features a pin with the same goat design and phrase. The three items featured had images of UFOs and planets instead. While some items made by the brand Abprallen were among those featured by the big box retailer as part of its Pride month collection, none of the items bore satanic imagery. CLAIM: Satanic-themed shirts and pins from a London-based designer are part of Target’s line of merchandise celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.ĪP’S ASSESSMENT: False.
