Big-box retailer Target appears to be doubling down on wokeism by promoting an LGBT Pride strategist, following backlash the company received for selling LGBT products.
The Minneapolis-based Target promoted Erik Thompson as senior LGBTQIA+ segmentation specialist and Pride lead. Thompson, who has been with the company since 2016, previously served as an associate buyer of men’s sportswear between 2016 and 2019. After that stint, he was promoted to buyer in Target’s beauty and cosmetics division.
