Do Chip and Joanna Gaines support Target’s pro-trans and Satanist stance?

Reality TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines have faced public scrutiny and personal attacks on their family due to their Christian faith. As major business partners of Target, it’s important to get some clarity on where they stand in the wake of Target’s controversial moves.

Target has been promoting merchandise that supports a movement that strips minors of their emotional and physical well-being, going as far as promoting chemical castration and genital mutilation. Do Chip and Joanna support this? What about selling swimsuits for children that are “tuck-friendly” and “chest-binding”? Or the “Bye Bye, Binary” board book with the tagline “Nobody puts baby in a pink or blue corner!”?

Target has also partnered with an outspoken Satanist who wants to eradicate critics of transgenderism. Do Chip and Joanna feel that their Christian faith is being mocked when their business partner sells merchandise such as “Too queer for here” tote bags or “Cure transphobia” sweatshirts? What about shirts that feature naked women or “Not a phase” loungewear?

Would Chip and Joanna allow any of their six young children to wear these clothes or read these books?

It’s time for Chip and Joanna to speak up and explain themselves. Christians and non-Christians alike who want to protect their children’s innocence should participate in the ongoing Target boycott. Will Chip and Joanna respond to the boycott like they did the Buzzfeed article — with a statement about how to “lovingly disagree”?

Let’s hope Chip and Joanna prove us wrong.
