The conservative group One Million Moms has launched a petition against retail giant Target over its decision to stock LGBT-themed Christmas merchandise, including “gay Santas” and “pride nutcrackers,” months after the retail giant faced backlash for selling products by a designer of satanic apparel.
One Million Moms says that such products are offensive and inappropriate for Christmas, urging Target in its petition to cease selling these items and warning that “progressive” business decisions could alienate conservative customers.
The products in question include a 10-inch Pride Santa from Kurt Adler’s Fabriché collection and a Pride Nutcracker figurine from Wondershop. The Santa figure, adorned in pride colors and holding a Pride flag, and the Nutcracker, featuring a light purple beard and rainbow elements, are part of Target’s Christmas décor lineup.
