Some stores of Target, an American retail corporation, pulled LGBTQ Pride goods away from the front of their stores due to customer "outrage". US-based reports have mentioned that the retailer corporation wanted to avoid a "Bud Light situation".&nbsp;

A report by Fox News said that several Target locations throughout the country host enormous June Pride Month displays every year,&nbsp;

They kept merchandise this year ranging from "tuck friendly" bathing suits for transgender persons to mugs that proclaim "gender fluid".&nbsp;

However, some have criticised the retail giant for the displays, with children's products particularly angering many shoppers. &nbsp;

A Target insider told the media outlet that many locations, mainly in rural areas of the South, have relocated their Pride sections.&nbsp;

They want to escape the backlash that Bud Light has received in recent weeks after utilising a transgender influencer in an advertising effort.&nbsp;

The insider further noted that there were "emergency" calls on Friday, and several managers and district senior directors were urged to immediately close the Pride areas.&nbsp;

As quoted, a Target insider said, "We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage."&nbsp;

"We call our customers ‘guests,’ there is an outrage on their part. This year, it is just exponentially more than any other year," the insider further said.&nbsp;

"I think given the current situation with Bud Light, the company is terrified of a Bud Light situation," the insider added.&nbsp;

The insider also mentioned that Friday's call started with highlighting "how to deal with team member safety".&nbsp;

The insider said, "The call was super quick, it was 15 minutes. The first 10 minutes was about how to keep your team safe and not having to advocate for Target. The last five was, ‘Move this to the back, take down the mannequins and remove the signage.'"&nbsp;

Bella Ramsey, who is best known for her roles as Lyanna Mormont in 'Game Of Thrones' series has revealed she is gender-fluid. Ramsey has also played Mildred Hubble in 'The Worst Witch' and at present stars alongside Pedro Pascal in the acclaimed new HBO series 'The Last Of Us'. While promoting the show in a recent interview, she opened up about her gender identity.

Gender fluid 
 
Speaking to New York Times, Ramsey said, "I guess my gender has always been very fluid,” she said. “Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it. But I knew that if someone called me ‘he,’ it was a bit exciting."

Ramsey revealed she ticks the non-binary option in all documents. "I'm very much just a person. Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like. But in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less,” she said. 
 
In 'The Last Of Us', Bella Ramsey plays the role of a teenager named Ellie who is escorted across the post-apocalyptic United States by smuggler Joel (Pascal).&nbsp;

About her new show 'The Last Of Us' 
 
Leading up to the premiere of 'The Last of Us,' Ramsay also addressed to how she reacted to fan toxicity over her casting as Ellie, admitting that she had never experienced that before. 
 
"There would be times I'd find it funny. Then I'd get to the end of a 10-minute scrolling session, put my phone down and realize: Maybe that was a bad idea," she said. She is, however, hopefull that fans of the video game will also fall in love with the show. The actor explained that the show follows the emotional beats of the game and honors the legacy of 'The Last of Us'. "But (the live-action series adaptation) brings a new life into it. It explores different avenues that weren't explored so much in the game. I do think people are going to love it. I hope they do."

Beyond the Runway: The story behind gender-fluid fashion

In this 21st century where people are coming together to celebrate freedom to choose gender, Russian President Vladimir Putin said teaching gender fluidity to children is 'monstrous' and 'terrible'.<o:p></o:p>

"It is terrible when children in the West are taught the idea that a boy can become a girl," Putin said.<o:p></o:p>

Speaking from his pre-prepared notes at an even of Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi, Russia, Putin said he believes that it is close to ‘crimes against humanity’ that children are allowed to believe that they can choose their own gender.

The President blamed people for pushing small children to believe that a boy can become a girl, and vice versa. "(It is a) simply monstrous moment when children are pushed to believe from early on that a boy can easily become a girl, and vice versa,"&nbsp;he said. "They are pushed to believe they have a choice, imposed while parents are swept aside. And a child is forced to make a decision that can break their life."<o:p></o:p>

He accused people of teaching this to gender without consulting child psychologists and without making sure whether or not a child can handle to make such decisions.

"No-one even consults child psychologists on whether a child of a certain age is able to make these kind of decisions,"&nbsp;Putin accused. "Calling a spade a spade, this is close to a crime against humanity dressed up in the name and under the flag of progress."<o:p></o:p>

Putin claims that he is not prejudiced against the LGBTQ community but also believes that such important decisions related to gender identity can only be taken by adults and, therefore, children should not be taught these concepts. <o:p></o:p>

However, people have lashed out at Putin for his comments, especially considering that in 2020 same-sex marriages were prohibited and trans people were told they cannot adopt children.<o:p></o:p>
