    Family just returned from shopping at Target. We were looking around for 4th of July decorations when my wife said there are more Pride flags than American flags. The gay stuff Is really getting overblown.
    Our country is not on the same page.
    Libbies are loving it. Sad.

    What if it's because all of the 4th of July stuff has been purchased, and the pride stuff has not?

    Now was my optimistic rating meant as hopeful or pro gay pride? You decide.

    Why do you like making assumptions?

    Is the gay pride stuff selling or are the shelves just stocked full of merchandise? How many customers did you see with gay pride merchandise in their carts? I assume yours wasn't.

    That said sorry you couldn't find what you are looking for.

    On that note I will say Disney+ is pushing gay pride, Same as they have pushed every minority agenda from gay to race. It's a losing proposition as your cart doesn't have gay pride in it. Being selective for audience participation only works in certain locations and demographics. Selling snow shovels in Florida is a non starter unless you can make that snow shovel a requirement for shoveling something else.

    Are you in Key West?

    First of all, Gay pride month was June. Perhaps the flags will be coming down and folks are getting around to it. Chop Chop.

    Second, do the same thread for the Confederate Flag.

    yes
    Because lots and lots of places are pushing the confederate flag and life style.
    Terrible take.

    Nope. I guarantee there are more Confederate flags floating around than Gay pride flags.

    In targets? In any major brand store? I’ll take that bet.

    We've been through that already from tearing down statues, to renaming schools, roads, bridges, military posts and education. What more do you want other than a cleansing of history to fit your narrative?

    Exactly. I complained about the lack of Gator gear at Dicks Sporting Goods in Tampa once and the abundance of FSU clothing. They said it was because the Gator merchandise was selling and the nole stuff wasn’t.

    I suppose if The Villages residents create enough of an uproar I’m sure DeSantis will make it against the law for rain to make rainbows.

    No. It’s sad that a large part of our country cares more about our gays than our veterans.

    I’ll take whatever I can get I guess. Thanks for not being condescending, again.
