Gay couple in Florida claims Target worker STOPPED them from buying a Pride onesie for their 10-month-old child - claiming item should have pulled from the shelves

A gay couple in Florida claimed a Target employee stopped them from buying a Pride onesie for their son because the item should have been pulled from the shelves.

Michael Hoffacker and Michael Roedel tried to buy a Pride outfit for their 10-month-old child, but they were told by staff that they weren't allowed to purchase it.

They took the rainbow-themed item of clothing to a self-checkout, but as they scanned it, an alert flashed up on the screen.

A staff member then let them know that the item had a 'do not sell' tag on it because it had been pulled from shelves amid the backlash Target is facing for its Pride Month merchandise.

This comes as Target has suffered financial setback after financial setback - with JPMorgan downgrading its stock as its market value plummeted by $12billion over backlash to its controversial LGBTQ Pride product release.

Hoffacker told WPBF: 'A Target team member walked over and she let us know that that item should have been pulled from the shelves and it had a ‘Do Not Sell’ on it and they would not be able to sell us the item.

'I was confident that with the fact that it was there that we would be able to actually purchase it and that I would actually be able to talk one of the managers into selling it to us.'

The gay couple then called the manager to see if they could convince her to let them buy it.

He said the manager at the Target on Northlake Boulevard in Lake Park told the couple that if they sold them the onesie, she would probably lose her job.

The ordeal rocked the couple, who said it was a painful, infuriating moment.

It’s not as if we’re going to forget, just because Target decided to pull it, so they might as well just have let them have it.

Probably elbowed a normal couple out of the way to make a political statement with the adoption.

More than likely they paid a surrogate mother to have the baby.

The hurt feelings seem likely inspire a bill filing by Florida’s Democrats for the next legislative session: The Gay Couple Right-to-Buy PRIDE Merchandise Act.

Some are born pains in the butt. Some achieve being pains in the butt. And some have butt pain thrust upon them.

The ordeal rocked the couple????

Not being able to clothe your infant in a homosexual themed outfit, is an ordeal, a life crisis, a cause for angst???

Hell, Pete Buttplugged and his “husband” have twin babies. That’s why he/she/it went on Maternity leave right after assuming Sec. of Transportation position.

We ran into a similar situation when we tried to buy some real incandescent bulbs at a Family Dollar to spare ourselves the evils of Biden-bulbs. Nope, cannot sell. These guys could get an outfit for the baby they bought by ordering it from somewhere else, just as we did with the bulbs (and they did with their baby, for that matter).

And I'm sure their anger is misdirected from the true culprits, and in denial about being willful victims of manipulation by trans activists and commie dei thugs.

Not all of them are that wealthy. Why do you think they used their political clout to force private agencies to adopt to Sodomites?
