The letter did not include any specific demands nor did it outline how the attorneys general believe the campaign could violate child protection laws.

"However, Target management does have fiduciary duties to its shareholders to prudently manage the company and act loyally in the company's best interests."

Not sure how reaching out to more groups to sell more products and generate more profit amongst those groups previously left out of the equation is not in the company’s best interest.

They're implying there are more hateful bigots in the US and that Target would lose more money by them not shopping there due to Pride merch than they'd make by selling it.

Which is probably not true for Target's clientele, but my local Walmart definitely didn't have any rainbow stuff for sale this year.
