On May 10, 2023, the twitter account Gays Against Groomers posted a video showing “tuck friendly” women’s swimwear that may have been targeted at children. “Tuck friendly” is a euphemism for saying that men with men’s genitalia, who identify as women and want to wear women’s swimwear, can buy this outfit and tuck their junk. The timing was not auspicious to say the least, with Bud Light in the middle of getting hammered by a boycott and on a stock performance level, with hordes of angry consumers and short sellers looking for their next target (no pun intended).
This is what you will find in the kid’s section of @Target. We urge you to take your business elsewhere. They are indoctrinating and grooming them with LGBTQ ideology. It is highly inappropriate and disturbing.
We hope there are enough parents out there that understand how… pic.twitter.com/8g1UC41zAY
