Target has teamed up with LGBT+ brands and artists for its Pride Month 2022 collection.


Target has teamed up with LGBT+ brands and artists for its Pride 2022 collection.
The department store has dropped a huge collection which celebrates and highlights the community for Pride Month.
The main Pride range, as well as two exclusive collaborations with queer-owned brands, has been released in store and online

For this year’s pride month, Target has teamed up with TomboyX and Humankind on two limited collections.
They say the “two beloved queer, female-founded brands stand for inclusivity in every way”.

TomboyX, which was founded by Fran Dunaway and Naomi Gonzalez, makes underwear and activewear that any body can feel comfortable in regardless of your size or gender.

The 15-piece limited edition range features packing underwear, compression tops, bras, boxers, briefs and boy shorts.
There’s a number of prints available including rainbow, Pride flag colours and neutral colours if you’d prefer something more subtle.


Humankind was founded by Haily Marzullo and focuses on swimwear that’s minimal and inclusive of every gender.

The 11-piece collection with Target features swim trunks, swim tops, tank tops and unisuits, which are all available in extended sizes and a number of different styles.

This includes subtle rainbow stripes, colourblock and rainbow sprinkles.


The wider Target Pride 2022 collection is “community created” and sees the store team up with LGBT+ artists.

This includes Alice Butts, Jermel “Blu” Moody, Robin Lewallen, Jay Miller, Olly Gibbs and Bird & Marc.

Each artist has created t-shirts, prints, homeware, pet accessories, tote bags and more featuring their unique designs.

There’s more than 190 products to shop, including t-shirts embellished with “Move I’m Gay”, “Queer”, “Black & Proud”, “You Me & We”, pronouns, rainbows and various Pride flag designs.


Target has also confirmed a continued partnership with GLSEN, who create affirming, accessible and anti-racist spaces for LGBT+ students.

Target says they’re “proud of 10 plus years of collaboration with GLSEN and continue to support their mission”.

Twitter reacts to Target’s Pride collections​

The response to Target’s Pride 2022 collection has been mixed, with one Twitter user saying: “It’s still cool to see these things being sold at a mainstream store for a fairly affordable price”.

But they also add that it should be offered throughout the year and “not just for pride”.

Another said it was “awesome” but that it was “too bad” that they’ve not included tucking underwear in the range.

While others called the store chain “performative” for not selling the products all-year round.

All I think about when I see these gay blobs is of the dude singing this atrocity of a song:

Gays already have whole sub categories for fatties: chubs, cubs & bears. It's usually fat 4 fat, but occasionally a normal sized person is a chub chaser. Until recently fattys didn't scoff at the idea of being with a chaser because why would you? its a person who likes you cause your fat. Gay fats that whine about this, are just mad super hot gays won't fuck them. Hit the gym or quit whining Mary .

I don't think any of this is for gay people. It's for white hetero women who want to virtue signal about how they're emptying hubby's credit card at a progressive store that's taking a STUNNING and BRAVE stance on social issues. I like to think (real) gay men would shop at classier, more high end places.

Seems like. Wouldn't want a supergay or superlesbian item to sneak through, that would offend troons and their handmaidens, even though actual gay people are far more numerous - and wealthy - than genderspecials. Especially BIPOC genderspecials who would actually wear this shit in public.

To add to the 'nothing is ever good enough' caterwauling, fat blob with a thread Nora Reed made sure to complain the binders didn't go large enough, so the vastly overweight FtM troon demographic they're specifically marketing to are out of luck. There's a limit to how much of a hamplanet you can be and indulge your Target-sold gender delusions, it seems.

At a certain level of fatness, there isn’t that much of a visual difference between genders.

Queer/trans is now just mallgoth 2.0
