Walmart is facing heavy criticism on social media after launching its “Pride Always” collection ahead of June’s pride month, as shoppers voice their disappointment, irritation, and disgust.
“So tired of this nonsense. If anyone should have a month of honor it should we for our soldiers, our nurses and police officers. People who actually are making a difference in this world,” one Instagram user wrote.
“Walmart and Pride whatever it is, I hate all this because you glorify everything in this world except what God has created to be from the beginning, which is a family, man married to a woman and their children!!” another said, expressing disgust that the core family unit is seemingly never celebrated.
“Why don’t you give a true family unit a special month???” the user continued, questioning why the LGBTQ agenda must be “glorified” for an entire month.
“So Walmart is woke now? How long before you’re selling Palestinian Flags and abortion kits? Totally ridiculous,” another lamented.
“WOW WALMART. WHAT DON’T YOU CELEBRATE VETERANS” one said as another deemed the collection “nonsense.”
“No one needs a month of this,” they said as another asked, “Why is this in my feed. I don’t want to [be] forced to accept your lifestyle.”
“A whole month. Yall [sic] are SO oppressed,” another mocked.
The backlash comes ahead of June, when many retailers — and the Biden administration — attempt to force the celebration of the LGBTQIA2S+ lifestyle. While some retailers, such as Target, are reportedly pulling back this year, that does not appear to be the case with Walmart and others.
