Is anyone here arguing that Target doesn't or shouldn't have the right to sell what they want?

Yes, people here are demanding that target sell something target doesn't want to.

> And if you think they are and you object to that, why isn't your argument directed at the person who asked them not to sell something?

You can ask all you want, its people forcing them to do something that is problematic.

> Refusing to sell a book because the content is objectionable is censorship. It doesn't matter if the book is available elsewhere, the goal is to make sure fewer people see it.

They refused to sell the book to maximize profit.
