‘Twilight’ star Rachelle Lefevre rips apart Target over 'erasing gay people'

“Twilight” star Rachelle Lefevre accused Target of “trying to erase” LGBTQ people after it removed its “PRIDE” collection from the front of its stores following backlash from conservatives.

The actress blasted the retailer for engaging in “performative allyship” that she said falsely gave her 7-year-old child a sense of acceptance upon seeing the front-of-store Pride Month display.

“I came in here two days ago and my 7-year-old, who’s nonbinary, saw it and said, ‘Look, Mom, it’s pride Look, they’re going to celebrate me,'” the Canadian actress said in an Instagram post while holding back tears.

“I can’t bring them here anymore, at least for the entire month of June, because if they walk in, and all the other people who walk in and go, ‘Where’d it go?’ are going to realize that they are being successful in trying to erase them.”

“We’re not supposed to negotiate with terrorists,” she added.

Target suffered a $9 billion market loss in just one week following an uproar over its LGBTQ-friendly clothing line, which featured “tuck-friendly” women’s swimsuits and rainbow-colored onesies for infants.

The backlash included several violent demonstrations in which conservatives — including one wearing a MAGA hat — stormed stores to tear down Pride signs, badger workers and even leave a case of Bud Light alongside the offending items.

The mega-retailer, fearing a “Bud Light situation,” rushed to move the “PRIDE” collection to the back of the store, or in some cases out of locations entirely.

In a follow-up video, Lefevre, who played the vampire Victoria in “Twilight,” encouraged LGBTQ individuals to find joy in their daily lives in spite of the criticism.

Of course your kid is "non binary" it's easy and you don't have to commit to anything.

"“I came in here two days ago and my 7-year-old, who’s nonbinary, saw it and said, ‘Look, Mom, it’s pride Look, they’re going to celebrate me,'” the Canadian actress said in an Instagram post while holding back tears."

She's narsy so the stories she makes up reflect that. "They're going to celebrate me!"

Yeah, this never happened.

Why should anyone commit to anything r1? Is it a law or something? Btw, they’re coming for the gays. The sooner you realize that and start fighting instead of kvetching, the better.

A 7 year old has decided he / she is 'non-binary' ? They can't decide what costume they want for Halloween at that age - how can they decide on their gender ?

Corporate pride erases gay people because it’s primarily sold and marketed to straight people.

Have you ever asked a gay person when they knew they were gay and they said “by about 5 years old”? Did you tell them “you couldn’t have know that then!!”?

This non-binary nonsense is a fad that needs to die. No, your 7-year old child is not non-binary. You're living your life like a demented Ab Fab episode where you'll do anything to get attention with whatever you perceive to be edgy.

Children are not non-binary in elementary school. They're kids. They're trying out different things. But that doesn't mean they won't figure it out in a week or a month or a year.

God this decade sucks.

Good riddance. Gay people don’t need to have pride shit sold at stores, anymore than Latin people need sombreros sold on Cinco de Mayo

That's asking an adult the question, not the child. Have you ever asked the 5 year old if he's gay ?

I've also asked a 7 year old what they want to be when they grow up and they say 'a fireman'. By the time they're 8 they've changed their mind six times.

Nonbinarism is such a classic woman thing. They want to demand everything and commit to nothing, like at a restaurant.

I was just at one of the Austin Target stores this morning and the Pride merchandise wasn’t hidden at all - in fact, there were three distinct and obvious displays. I guess the removal was on a store by store basis.

Ever notice how the feminists/lesbians and gender-critical gay men-- who actually ARE losing something in this ludicrous game-- never resort to such hyperbole? One can only hope that reason and science will win out in the end, but in this world of ridiculous extremes...

Tell it to all the the women's studies departments and lesbian bars, R13. Oh, that's right, you can't, because they no longer exist. Yet I still don't see Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, and Joanna Cherry disrobing on the street, pouring huge bottles of urine on the sidewalk, and screaming, "THEY'RE KILLING US!"

I didn’t realize the woman in that video was “famous” when I first saw it last week.

Non-binary is the most nonsensical thing to come out of trans ideology. None of it is coherent or makes sense to begin with, but non-binary is in a league of its own.

Also, this will never stop being funny to me:

[quote] Why should anyone commit to anything [R1]? Is it a law or something? Btw, they’re coming for the gays.

Oh, they’re COMING FOR THE GAYS! Oh no! What are they gonna do to me?! I’m terrified!

They can come for me all they want. You realize that us non-believers *pretending to believe in gender ideology* isn’t going to *stop them* from “coming for” us, too, right?

TRAs constantly, constantly repeat that phrase as if it’ll put the fear of god into us and make us believers in gender-woo. It won’t work. You’d have better luck trying to convince an avowed atheist to start believing in Christianity.

Silver lining. Keep the kids home. Target is not a playground and unsupervised kids are annoying.
