It’s not yet June, but the Target Pride Collection for 2022 has dropped! In the rainbow collection, you’ll find everything from funky 80’s inspired button-down shirts and sapphic mugs to bocce ball sets and enough supplies to have a party all Pride month long. Hope your neighbors don’t plan on sleeping.
We know that when it comes to Pride, there’s always an issue of rainbow capitalism. However, it seems someone at Target took some notes after being criticized on social media in previous years. This year, the collection of t-shirts, pet accessories, tote bags, and more was “community created” and features collaborations with LGBTQIA+ artists.
They also teamed up with activewear brand TomboyX and minimalist swimwear brand Humankind to offer products anyone can feel comfortable in regardless of size or gender, including binders and packing underwear. We hope they continue to carry them all year long.
Check out the entire collection or see our favorites below.

1. Love Is Love Pool Float, $10
We’re immediately adding this to our pool float collection which is currently busting out of our hallway closet.

2. ‘Wish This Was Coffee’ Tumbler, $10
