(Bob Hague, WRN) You may find fewer Pride items at your local Target.

The Minneapolis based retailer on Wednesday said it was removing some Pride Month products after the company and its employees became the focus of a “volatile” anti-LGBTQ campaign.

Target, with nearly 40 locations around Wisconsin, said threats impacted employees’ sense of safety, but did not specify the nature of the threats or where they occurred. Target has celebrated Pride Month in and around June for a decade.
