Target has been consistently getting flack for its Pride Collection. Most recently, the retail corporation came under fire for selling “tuck-friendly” wear for children. Their rainbow-coloured onesies and t-shirts with slogans like- “Girls Gays Theys,” “Pride Adult Drag Queen ‘Katya’,” and “Trans people will always exist!” left conservatives enraged. Most recently, one of the designers behind the controversial collection was exposed on the internet for being a Satanist, which left netizens mortified. This year, Target kept their signature Pride Month message as “Live Laugh Lesbian.” The mantra found itself on pink crop tops in the collection. Other items in the collection included a coffee mug that read- “gender fluid,” rainbow themed outfits for pets, a jumpsuit that unreservedly says “GAY” and even a Drag Queen Bird Decorative Figurine among other items.The Pride Collection certainly comes at a politically turbulent time. With Florida passing several anti-LGBTQ bills and conservatives dissenting against “woke” LGBTQ advertisement campaigns like that of Bud Light’s and Miller Lite’s, Target boldly supports the queer community.Most recently, popular conservative commentator Oli London took to Twitter to expose the retail corporation for hiring a Satanist to design their Pride Collection. Education activist Scarlett Johnson also criticized the organization for the same.Oli London@OliLondonTVOne of the designers behind Target’s new Pride Collection has been revealed to be a proud satanist.

Speaking about his beliefs, he revealed:“As a gay trans man it can be hard to find a place in this world that suits you, so I carved out my own and learned just how many people out there are like me. I get to speak with people all over the world, from so many unique and beautiful backgrounds, and I hope I incorporate some of our stories into my work.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAbprallen’s signature design includes pastel art that is juxtaposed with “skulls and spooky things.”Netizens were concerned when they learned about his Satanic beliefs.
