GLSEN, TARGET, AND FOX NEWS

Allies In A War Against "A Very, Very Small Minority Of People With An Anti-LGBT Sentiment"

It is essential that we all understand what GLSEN is and what its goal is. The first time I wrote about GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network was on October 12, 2022:

“In Part 4 of this series I described how CDC is steering tax dollars to establish “Gay-Straight Alliances”; student led, school board supported, and teacher sponsored clubs that promote the GBLT+ culture in our middle and high schools. I also showed that this CDC program effort relies on an organization called GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) and so does that of the Department of Education (DOE).”(emphasis added)

AND:

“GLSEN - the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network

What exactly is GLSEN? While I strongly urge each of you to become familiar with GLSEN and its reach into your child’s life, if you know nothing else about this organization you need to know this:

”We conduct extensive and original research to inform our evidence-based solutions for K-12 education.”

There is much, much more to GLSEN and the Biden policy and the federal agency programs that are aimed at establishing LGBTQ+ support for EVERY student which by the way reach down to Head Start. But for now the Depart of Education’s Office of Civil Rights appears to be satisfied with ensuring the rights of your transgender five year old which includes ensuring that they have access to information about gender identity and how they may go about changing their gender.”

Let there be no doubt that GLSEN exists for the sole purpose of introducing children to the perversion of transgenderism and that there is no evidence that meets any level of scientific proof that 1) there are more than two genders or that 2) children as young as five years old can understand that their biological gender is not their correct gender. Nevertheless, GLSEN pushes their ideology through their relationships with the political left which includes the National Education Association and the financial relationships with corporate America. And I explained that GLSEN has used those partnerships to encourage the direct marketing of products that extol the “virtues” of LGBTQ+ ideology in children.

In other words adults, highly skilled in marketing, are encouraging children to accept their transgender ideology for profit.

Thanks to a “miss step” by BudLight America has now become aware of the depth of that relationship and has begun to fight back with their wallets.

When it was then discovered that the Target Corporation had decided to partner with a company that promotes satanism America had had enough. Both BudLight and Target are now scrambling to restore the damaged brands.

FoxNews.com recently reported:

”David Evans is the Chief Insights Officer for Collage Group, a consumer research firm that helps major U.S. brands like Target reach and cultivate relationships with groups that may have been ignored or passed over in prior times. He said most Americans, particularly younger ones, want to see companies "represent people in diverse ways." 

Evans said Target had a long history of connecting with the LGBT community, but in the time period since it came to light it was moving some of its location Pride displays due to what it claimed were "threats" against some staffers, it has faced heat from both edges of the political spectrum. Some on the right were irked by Target touting the displays in the first place and promoting apparel like "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for trans women, and progressives feel betrayed for what they call a capitulation to right-wingers.”

There are two points to be made here. First, Evans will have you believe that the LGBTQ+ community is far more significant that anyone overthought and that they are so underserved in the marketplace that they deserve marketing prominence. In other words ‘Let’s put a huge display, gaudy display of LGBTQ+ items in the very front of Target stores so that kids will see it as soon as they walk in.’

Second, Evans is dismissive of consumer outrage because Target has a “long history” of connecting with the LGBTQ community so it makes no sense that we would suddenly be outraged by Targets direct marketing of transgenderism to children.

Evans also ‘cleverly’ repeats the lie that Target was forced to move its LGBTQ+ displays to a more inconspicuous location in their stores because of “threats against some staffers.” ‘Threats’ which by the way, have never been documented.

"They earned a lot of resonance with this community from allies… But they probably did lose control of the narrative a little bit, because what ended up happening was the press is all about ‘Target pulls the merchandise,’ as opposed to Target employees are being threatened by, in fact, a very, very small group of people who represent a very small minority of anti-LGBT sentiment."

Fox News also gave voice to Katya Skogen, the Director of Cultural Insights for Collage Group who offered this:

"They have seemingly lost control of the narrative," she said. "They may be doing the right thing to protect who they have on the floor… That's important to protect people and assets. But the way the conversation is happening right now is definitely not in their favor."(emphasis added)

Fox News has now enabled Target to be presented as the victim of “a very, very small group of people who represent a very small minority of anti-LGBT sentiment.”

But "a very, very small group of people” — “vicious” or otherwise — are not capable of causing Target to lose more than $12 B in value in less than two weeks. We did that and we did without a single act of violence. We did it by keeping our feet out of Target’s brick and mortar presence and our fingers off of the target on-line presence. We just stopped spending. Target apparently views our refusal to spend our money with them as an act of “violence”.

Next up; Chick-filet-A which seems to have forgotten that when they were under economic attack by the LGBTQ+ community we had their backs and gave them a huge financial boost.
