"Pride Drag Queen Bird" Figurine, 2023
Add to SetSummary
This "Drag Queen Bird" was launched as part of Target's Pride-themed home decor line in May 2023. On May 24, 2023, after receiving backlash from conservative anti-LGBTQ+ groups, Target removed or reduced the prominence of Pride-themed merchandise in several states. The seasonal "Target bird" figurines have become a collecting tradition, but none have reached the degree of popularity of this bird.
