"Another Company Needing Bud-Lighting:" Parents Complain of Kohl's Selling "Pride" Onesies Sized for Three Month Old Babies

Grooming grooming grooming...

'Another company needing Bud-Lighting': Outrage grows as Kohl's stores offer LGBTQ clothing for babies as the outlet is the latest to face backlash over woke merchandise

The struggling retailer is selling 'pride' onesies for infants as young as three months in its stores and online

Many were outraged and want a boycott against Kohl's like those against Bud Light and Target

Conservative influencer Benny Johnson wondered 'why is Kohl's selling 'Pride Merch' for three month old babies?'

Kohl's has become the latest retailer to receive backlash for catering to the 'woke crowd' after shoppers slammed their LGBTQ+ apparel for infants.

The onesies with the LGBTQ+ pride flag on them, specifically tailored to June, which is known internationally as Pride Month, have even sparked calls for a store boycott.

One Twitter account put it succinctly: 'Looks like another company needing Bud-lighting!'

The department store has already seen its stock shares lose almost half their value in 2022 and now they could be following the path of Bud Light and Target.

Popular Twitter account, 'End Wokeness', led the charge against LGBTQ+ onesies for infants, writing: 'Kohl's is pushing LGBTQ Pride for literal babies' and added 'Looks like Kohl's didn't learn a thing from Bud Lite and Target.'

They're also selling "Ask Me About My Pronouns" merch. Not sure if that's kid-sized.

Among the merchandise for LGBT pride month in June, the department store's website includes a "Baby Sonoma Community Pride Bodysuit set" for young children from age 3 months to 2 years. The outfit includes a lesbian couple with a dog and three children, one of whom is in a wheelchair, and one of the women is holding an LGBT pride flag.

Additional merchandise includes the "Love Is Love" phrase on pillows, bibs, shorts, candles, a banner, and towels, Fox News reported. There are also shirts with phrases on them such as "Be Proud" and "Ask Me My Pronouns."

Multiple social media accounts highlighted and criticized the merchandise. The Twitter account "End Wokeness" posted pictures of some of the merchandise, with the caption, "Kohl's is pushing LGBTQ Pride for literal babies."


Video of the Groomerwear here.


Benny Johnson visited Target last week and found the Groomer Propaganda out and proud.

But he visited it again, and now the grooming merchandise is better hidden.

While the Bud Light protest was definitively led by moral men, I believe this Target one is being led by moral women and I’m very glad to see these results.
Keep it up. #boycotttarget

Boycotts work. Especially when student loan payments go back into effect next month and conservatives are the ONLY ones with disposable money for the last 6 months of this year...

Posted by: Nova Local at May 31, 2023 12:10 PM (exHjb)

26 I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again:

Benny Johnson's post is viral click bait. No news here. The "internal guidance" from a whistleblower is dated from last Thursday (25th). We already heard about the effort to move displays in southern and rural stores last week. His video is from a Tampa store. There's nothing to suggest any post Memorial Day changes from Target HQ, and stores in more liberal states aren't disappearing pride marketing and sales items en masse like he suggests.

I wish more people would be skeptical of such self-promotion.

32 My comment from the last thread:

Regarding Target's satanic swimwear and other clothing;

People are grabbing shopping carts full of the stuff, going to checkout. Tabs run as high as $1K for the stuff.

Then they claim to have left their wallet in the car and just leave.

The point being the store then has to go through the motions of restocking the stuff and reconciling inventory since it wasn't actually "sold."

Likely degrading the already dismal earnings.


People are beginning to show displeasure with the whole LGBQXYZ and transgender bullshit. The trannies in turn are phoning in bomb threats to Target stores that move their precious merch somewhere else in the store. They're insane enough to follow through on their threats.

41 From aol.com...Bud sales are cratering as much as Bud Light...and the drops are still in acceleration mode, not recovery/stabilization mode...

"New data from Nielsen revealed Bud Light sales declined 24.3% year-over-year in the week ending May 20 while Budweiser sales were down 20.4% during the same period. Last week sales were down 21.6% and 17.6% respectively."

It's because it involved kids. Most parents still love and treasure them, even if they belong to someone else. Heck, most non-parents understand their value to society and that the sexual grooming is about the most wrong thing that anyone can imagine.

I would hope that the lesbian couple has a black woman and a white woman and the disabled kid in the wheelchair looks like some kid from over the open border, to make the outfit really inclusive. Also, they need to get on the train with "Satan respects your pronouns." under the picture of the outfit.

++++
Kohl's and Target are more like each other than either is like Bud Light. Both enterprises - but especially Kohl's - are already in trouble (as are many other retailers for various reasons) and little stuff like some reduced sales due to Pride backlash (if it happens) will matter a lot more. I don't see either losing 25% of sales like Bud Light has, but even smaller declines have the potential to be much more damaging.

The elites start having "fun" parties...that get more and more extreme, leading to demon worshiping cults and finally...a civil war that almost destroys them, with one faction worshiping a new Chaos god - Slaanesh the god of excess (but mostly gross sex) and the other faction going back to their roots and trying to exterminate the Chaos worshippers...

This eventually leads to the end of the world since the other factions aren't strong enough to stop a Chaos invasion without the help of this one...

I think big stimulus during recessions was reasonable to expect. Outside of that I think he ended up doing a lot less corporate subsidies than one might have expected.

I ignore all stock prices. They're essentially fake with only tenuous connections to the reality of the business.

If Target management is doing some small level of walkback, then it could have something to do with actual sales numbers, which we won't hear about until quarterly earnings calls. So, I think something real is happening, and I don't think it's about the stock price.

This is a slight misread. It isn't that companies decided that right-leaning customers don't matter, it's that companies decided that customers don't matter. In general. At all.

They make big money from finance. Well, made. With rates going up, a lot of these games don't work so well anymore. Customers are going to start mattering again, and these companies all have a deeply-ingrained attitude of "the customer is irrelevant."

I am not by any means sure, but I do *hope* that this kind of stuff with Target and AB-InBev is the start of a brutal reminder that the customer *does* matter after all.

Pick one company and destroy it as a lesson to the others. Either drive it into bankruptcy, or to a public, total refutation of wokeness/trans/grooming.

Guys who drink corporate pilsner beer have to be given options in addition to Bud. If all corporate pilsner beer is being boycotted, no corporate pilsner beer is being boycotted.

Sure, some companies have gone woke willingly. They are run by activists and they love this idiocy. But many others are being flat out blackmailed into supporting this crap or they don't get funding.

It's not just the large funds that are pushing this. They are working with what is increasingly becoming a very small cartel of big banks that are also demanding allegiance to the ESG crap. Go along or don't get funded.

The other quotes from politicians acknowledging Gay-rape of little children is gays "true selves" are hilarious, too:

"Uganda’s shameful anti-LGBTQ law is unjust & simply cruel,'' Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., said in a Tuesday tweet. ''Regardless of where you live, every person deserves the freedom to live their true authentic self, free from discrimination. I stand with Uganda’s LGBTQ+ community & call for an immediate repeal."

Again, the law is against Gay-raping of children.

With all the things he could get worked up about at home, why does Cruz care about executions of gay pedophiles in mostly Christian Uganda. Gays get executed throughout the Muslim world.

I have made this point myself, trust me. But there is an alternative to break that cartel: make the companies choose.

"Who do you fear more? Your internal activists and Woke Capital, or your customers?""

Right now, the answer to that is always "internal activists and Woke Capital." There is no customer fear. This is why wrecking something like Bud Light (if not Tranhuser-Busch as a whol) or Target would be so valuable: to restore the balance of terror. Making companies learn - or even just assume - that the choice is "Woke Capital, or a third to half of my customers" will force a lot of *them* to start objecting to ESG strings on capital, and if enough of them object, then the ESG pimps on Wall Street will have to decide whether to yield or lose the business.

223 The margin between a company being profitable or bankrupt is usually very small.

It's called "Black Friday" because it takes until the end of November Christmas shopping before retail stores are "in the black" and profitable for the year.

227 Selling "Pride" shit for newborns isn't really grooming. The kids are way too young to know. This is pure virtue-signaling for the idiot parents. If they are this clueless and destructive, then there is no hope for the kid. That's a reason why I keep saying we can't be policing bad parenting. Some kids are just very unfortunate to be born to very bad parents. Some are born to sweet delight. Some are born to endless night.

The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone. I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end. Period Thank you @RepMTG

I'm not defending the companies at all but if they are forced to choose between a quick death of being cut off from funding and a slower potential death of pissing off a large portion of their customer base they will choose what they are already choosing, to go along.

Maybe, but I would guess the local store walkbacks are only happening in markets where there are co-equal Walmart stores in competition, and this is mostly preemptive panic on Target's part, not necessarily a reaction to significant lost revenue like Bud Light. Time will tell.

There is no amount of retail consumer action that can hurt the banks. Move to a local bank or a credit union anyway - you'll almost certainly find that the service level is better and often the books are safer - but don't delude yourself into thinking that leaving the megabanks for your personal business will make them care. They won't. You're a rounding error on their operations. The real money is on the investment banking side, and there is no consumer influence there.

Can't really do deep-fried food well without a proper fryer, which most people don't have at home(I don't).

Fast food loyalties are weird, but there. I liked CfA. The reason wasn't the food (it's fine, but whatever), but the service and efficiency. They are insanely good at moving the queue through and their average order time is much, much lower than other fast food joints. On my lunch break, I could get through the CfA line with time to spare, whereas most other fast food joints would get back to the office just on time or even late.

They're courteous and efficient and the product is good enough. It was my go-to choice for a lunchtime fast food run until the boss man there told me to go home and get my shinebox.

Chik Fil A got really big and famous when most other fast food places had really poor chicken sandwiches. It's easy to see why they became the player in fried chicken sandwiches.

In N Out has good all around quality, nothing individually to die for, also less greasy which is nice. Probably why In-N-Out hasn't grown as quickly, no single defining quality that gives it strong brand identity.

You can find better clothing at GW, because they won't take anything except gently used or new. Things they used to take that might be usable with a little repair, they don't want.

429 No "In-and-Out" burger places here. And I don't feel like taking out a payday loan to eat at Five Guys.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere

I went out to lunch at 5 Guys a few Sundays ago with my wife, two sons, and my son's wife. 5 adults. And my grandson (5) got something.
It was about $100 for all of us to eat burgers and fries, with drinks. And not many people were there, at all.
Surprised?

There is a local place near me that has great hamburgers, that are consistently great. Yes, it is $12-14 a burger, but they are thick and very tasty.

463 I agree about 5 guys fries, they are not crispy enough and are greasy, not my favorite.

I just ate at a place in town here called Burger Basket, if you ever visit Salem I recommend it. Its a little cafe with one of those boards on the wall you order from with movable letters and numbers. That's almost always a great sign.

The fries tasted like McDonald's used to, back when they fried in beef tallow. Delicious. Burger was great, too, but you can almost always rely on those kind of little places. They're either horrible or wonderful, there's no in between.

I'll say this much about Kohl's, they actually have their staff refold and restock clothes throughout the day, like they actually care a bit about how the clothes are presented.

Every Macy's I've been to in the last 10 years looks like they just piled up their dirty laundry on the tables. And yes, the clothes are dirty, not just from customers rubbing their grubby hands all over everything but you can actually see the dust lines on the exposed fabric as opposed to the rest of the shirt where it was folded. And let's not talk about the sun-faded or yellowed stuff hanging on the racks.

505 Why was Bud light so bad? because the product was mediocre, and what was sold was the image. That image, cultivated over decades, was destroyed by the tranny on the can.

Kohls has the same problem - it has always sold itself as a family store. Cheap clothing for the kids. Again, part of what sold was the image.

Whether these boycotts take hold depend on the image of the product. We don't want racy, controversial, gay stuff from places like Target or Kohls. That is NOT their market, never was. Their market is working families on a budget. Bud light? Working guys on a budget who like hot girls and sports. Frat guys with little cash.

This idea of expanding to all markets, being all things to all people, needs to be carefully examined.

510 "I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?"

I really don't see this as a major thing. Almost nobody watches or cares about debates any more -- if they ever did. They don't mean anything. You can remember the big debate moments of the last 10 years off the top of your head despite there having been hundreds of them, because almost never does anything happen or have significance.

And debates aren't democracy. They're just an attempt to showcase each candidates ideas and challenge one another -- at least, they used to be. Have them, don't have them, its all the same for the election.

You wanna worry about democracy, worry about how the votes are counted. Because that's dead.

It was about $100 for all of us to eat burgers and fries, with drinks. And not many people were there, at all.
Surprised?

There is a local place near me that has great hamburgers, that are consistently great. Yes, it is $12-14 a burger, but they are thick and very tasty.

Yeah, the high prices in other places have caught up with Five Guys, they aren't so relatively expensive any longer. Arby's is the same way, they haven't raised their prices as much as everyone else has, so the gap has closed.

I really liked Quiznos, they had good sammiches around here. They all closed though, not sure why. Reading on it, the story appears to be that Quiznos was making its money as a corporation by gouging franchisees, who made little to no money. Very bad management.

I think the share price is more in anticipation of what they know is happening. Target is in trouble. I'm not sure they know how bad in trouble they actually are. For that matter maybe we don't either. As for not including Kohls, why not. They are really in a weak position right now and could be easily taken out, with just a little push. And it looks like the Bud Light issue is rolling over to Budweiser - InBev America is in serious trouble, because as each of these beer drinkers leave - they aren't coming back.
