   Kohl’s is the latest big retailer facing calls for a boycott after   
   shoppers found gay Pride gear for babies — with some calling it “time for   
   a Bud-Lighting.”   
      
   The department store saw a rising number of #BOYCOTTKHOLS hashtags online   
   after conservative commentators posted about how it was selling a Pride   
   onesie for 3-month-old kids.   
      
   “In case you need clothes for your Gay or Trans 3 month old, Kohl’s has   
   you covered,” online commentator ALX wrote alongside a screenshot of the   
   onesie. “Yes this is real.”   
      
   Benny Johnson also asked his 1.5 million followers: “Why is Kohl’s selling   
   ‘Pride Merch’ for 3 month old babies?”   
      
   A widely shared video — which the maker said was initially removed for   
   hate speech — also highlighted other Pride clothing for kids.   
      
   They included a shirt with Minnie Mouse ears over a rainbow-colored flag   
   and the words: “Belong, believe, be proud” and another with “Ask me my   
   pronouns.”   
      
   Many quickly called for a similar boycott to the one against Target, which   
   saw the retailer lose $10 billion in market valuation over the last 10   
   days when anger mounted over its own LGBTQ collection for kids.   
      
   That followed an initial uprising against Bud Light, which saw sales crash   
   after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.   
      
   “Looks like Kohl’s didn’t learn a thing from Bud Lite and Target,” tweeted   
   the End Wokeness account, which has more than a million followers.   
      
   “Another Company needing Bud-lighting!” wrote one “old Texan tired of the   
   BS the left has turned our beloved country into.”   
      
   “We already know what to do. Kohl’s bud light moment,” another critic   
   wrote.   
      
   “YOU’RE NEXT!” another commentator wrote alongside a Kohl’s ad showing a   
   family of two dads and young kids all in Pride shirts.   
      
   “We are the reason @Target lost $10 billion in ten days!” the boycotter   
   noted.   
      
   The onesie, which shows cartoon figures carrying a rainbow-colored flag,   
   is currently half-priced at $9.99.   
      
   The Kohl’s listing says: “Celebrate the joy that comes from living   
   authentically and unapologetically during Pride month and all year long   
   with this Baby Sonoma Community® Pride Bodysuit Set.”   
      
   Tweet saying it was time for "a Bud-Lighting."   
   Many called for Kohl’s to be added to a boycott list alongside Target and   
   Bud Light.   
   Loyal Kohl’s shoppers left stinging one-star reviews and further threats   
   of boycotts in the listing.   
      
   “Anyone that puts this on their kid should be locked up for life,” one   
   reviewer wrote, while another told the company: “Just stop it already.”   
      
   “Leave sexuality out of clothing for babies. Absolutely ridiculous. Bye   
   Kohl’s!” another said, while a longtime tier-one customer said: “I’m OUT.   
   This is disgusting.”   
      
   Pride display with kids items.   
   The onesie was among a number of gay Pride items aimed at kids, critics   
   claimed.   
   End Wokeness/Twitter   
   Amid the barrage of anger at the items, a handful of online commentators   
   stuck up for the company.   
      
   “Most major retailers celebrate Pride month. You’ve been hiding under a   
   rock,” one person wrote, while others called for shoppers to “all stick   
   together and make sure @Kohls fights back” against the backlash.   
      
   “Kohls, Burlington, JCP, Macys, Dillard’s, Nordstrom and the GAP companies   
   will all celebrate Pride month with special clothing lines or are   
   inclusive. Add Pepsi, Coca-Cola, 7-Up, Dr. Pepper, Absolut, Smirnoff . . .   
   y’all gonna boycott EVERYONE,” asked one Twitter user.   
      
   However, critics shot back to insist the anger has nothing to do with   
   Pride, just the targeting of kids.   
      
   “A f—ing onesie?? NOBODY CARED UNTIL YOU DEMONS STARTED WITH THE KIDS!!”   
   one person wrote.   
      
   Kohl’s did not immediately return messages seeking comment early Monday.
