Last week, Target Corp. announced that it will continue to allow transgender customers and employees to use the bathrooms and fitting rooms of their preference, regardless of their biological sex. A statement released on Target’s corporate website Tuesday came amid a nationwide legal dispute over whether transgender people should receive special protection under the country’s civil rights provisions.

Since that announcement, more than 500,000 people have signed an online pledge to boycott Target.

I am truly hoping this pledge reaches a million. And that it then serves as a rallying point to resist this “trans-gender” idiocy.

there is no alternative form- financial is all these sick people understand- When they lose enough sales, they will change their policy back- but by then it will be too late- many will not forgive them for trying to force this perversion on America!

and, while 700,000 have signed up- many many more will be silently boycotting the chain- vowing never to go back to them again- so we’re talking millions of people will boycott them

They won’t change. They’ll swallow what they’ve done with a smile while they close stores and lay off Americans who had no control over that decision.

They should build new transgender bathrooms in the produce department. They can call it the expanded fruit section.

I don’t trust the government so I’m not personally signing the boycott. But I’ll never shop there again.

This brings to mind the Mooch, when she advised those canvassing for her husband - “Get in people’s faces”

Any man visiting target should visit the ladies restroom.

And keep the seat down.

I really suggest the ladies stay away.

How can you boycott a place you were never shopping at to begin with?

There is no way to get to less than zero....

DIL is a huge fan of Target, and has announced that she is boycotting the place.
