Twin Cities Pride, Minnesota’s second largest festival, is removing Target from its June LGBTQ+ celebration.
“The community is just very disappointed that someone like Target, who has been a staple in our corner for so many years, has made this decision and not made the decision to stand up against those who are fighting against us,” Otto said.
“But unfortunately, in the current climate that we are having to live in as a community, I made the decision that it would not be in the best interest of our community to have Target’s presence at Pride or the parade this year,” he said.
Target has been a Twin Cities Pride partner for about 18 years. Last year, the corporation donated about $50,000 to the festival and had the biggest display, Otto said.
Despite that, Otto said it’s more important to send a message “that we have to continue to stand up for what is right.” Otto says he’ll look for contributions from other companies and foundations to replace the money Target contributed.

Yesterday, I turned down a fairly lucrative job offer. No way will I write German prompts for AI tools!
Fun fact: the agency emphasised that people working on this job would NOT be allowed to use AI writing tools themselves. Wonder why! /s

"When people are fooled by transparent fascist nonsense, the failing is not (just) intellectual. It is moral. People listen to fascists because they want to; they believe fascist propaganda because they think doing so is advantageous, or because they want an excuse to embrace their worst selves."

Gerne, hier ist eine Alt-Text-Beschreibung des Bildes:
Eine einfache Holzbank steht inmitten eines grünen Waldes. Die Bank ist aus Holz und wirkt etwas alt. Links und rechts der Bank ist dichte, grüne Vegetation, die teilweise die Bank verdeckt. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Bäume und Büsche zu sehen. Das Gesamtbild wirkt ruhig und friedlich.
