Target
was sued Thursday by the state of Florida for allegedly concealing the
risks of its diversity and social initiatives, leading to a backlash among
customers that caused its stock price to decline.
The
lawsuit by the State Board of Administration of Florida, an agency overseeing
public pension funds that own Target stock, was filed in the federal court in
Fort Myers, Florida.
Target
did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Florida
accused Target of betraying investors and its core customer base of working
families by making false and misleading statements about its environmental,
social and governance and diversity, equity and inclusion mandates.
It
said this culminated in a "disastrous" May 2023 Pride Month campaign,
which led the retailer to remove some LGBTQ-themed
merchandise after in-store confrontations led some employees to fear for their
safety.
Target
said on January 24 it will end DEI initiatives this year. It joined Walmart, Amazon.com and other
companies in curbing such initiatives, which many conservatives including U.S.
President Donald Trump have attacked.
