Ok, ok I can see your point here. The issue here is the organizations that promote secretly  indoctrinating and giving minors hormone drugs. Why secretly? well because in most states that is against the law as it should be.  So Target is funding a criminal organization ?  I would think since target is essentially paying these guys if they are caught then Target and the organization should be liable. Arrest the CEO, that should get their attention.

It was a response to others' concerns about religious influence as opposed to the trans crazy influence happening at warp speed. 

I can't say I've ever seen a religious group force companies to do their bidding as the progressive left has with this trans stuff, the blm stuff, etc. Not without being provoked anyway. I could be wrong since I don't pay much attention to this stuff unless someone posts it here. I don't scour the internet for news stories. 

I personally don't care where it comes from, be it religious or secular, I do not like being strong armed into tolerating, liking or accepting anything and I will not comply. Even if I agree with their views I will not support them or defend them forcing themselves on folks. 

I used to feel less strongly about this but 2020 up to now has done a number on me. All of the ham-fisted demands of compliance for everything from Covid to black lives matter to this trans stuff and more has made me feel less tolerant about things than I used to be. It started before 2020 but that's when the hammer came down on a lot of the general discontent I feel these days about a lot of things. 

It does drive me nuts that folks don't want to see things as they are because it doesn't fit with how they want to see or think about things. I had my head in the sand about what kids are learning, or not, in schools because (a) we don't have kids and (b) I didn't want to believe it. I have friends who are now homeschooling their kids because their kids were coming home asking questions about stuff they were being told in the classroom. I can't speak for other places, only what happens here with people I know and I had to finally get my head out of the sand and realize these things are happening. 

Sorry about the long and random mind dump. Got a lot on my mind I guess.
