Instances from the past serve as cautionary tales for companies and entities. For example, Target Corporation faced backlash and swiftly withdrew its LGBTQ-themed children’s clothing line after conservative shoppers circulated viral videos of their disapproval. Similarly, Kohl’s experienced a similar fate, witnessing a decline in stock value after engaging in LGBTQ-themed promotions. Other entities like Bud Light and Netflix also faced repercussions for their participation in Pride Month festivities. In the world of sports, even the MLB encountered pushback from both fans and players when the L.A. Dodgers announced plans for a drag-themed night. These incidents underscore the delicate balance that organizations must strike when navigating socio-political issues in the public arena.
