The ad campaign, launched yesterday, features items such as t-shirts, swimming shorts and flip flops.

The items, which also include things like iPhone cases and headphones, are available from Target online and in certain stores across the US.

The advert includes a voice over which says: “We’re not born with pride. We take pride, pride in celebrating who we were born to be.”
