Today we're looking at Target's new LGBTQ Christmas decoration line and the employee who was hired as a "Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist and Pride Lead," indicating that the company doesn't intend to back down on its Pride controversies from earlier in the year. We explain why it's so important to turn away from companies like this and use our dollars elsewhere. Then, popular magazine Cosmopolitan highlighted the Satanic Temple's abortion clinic and its "abortion rituals" in a post this week. The satanic abortion clinic aims to provide abortions as a "religious ritual," thereby avoiding certain abortion restrictions. We explain the obvious implications of this. We also share the tragic story of Hans Schmidt, pastor and father, who was shot in the head while preaching on a street corner, and why these kinds of stories don't make the news when they should.
