A boycott of Target continues following a meeting between company officials and representatives from the American Family Association, which initiated the boycott that has attracted more than a million individual supporters.
Target is inviting transgender employees and customers to use the bathroom and changing room for the gender they identify with. According to Target, the policy is all about inclusivity and making people feel welcome.
American Family Association is boycotting Target, saying the policy puts women and children at risk of sexual predators who may take advantage of the policy. After AFA shared these concerns with Target officials Wednesday, the retailer stood by its policy.
"Target was very polite and very professional and they heard out our concerns over their restroom and changing room policy ... but Target stood by their position and therefore the boycott will continue," says Walker Wildmon of AFA.
The family advocacy group has collected 1.2-million petition signatures, and on Wednesday hand-delivered one-million of those signatures at Target headquarters in Minneapolis.

Was going to Target last night and drive right past them, to Walmart.
Change “all feel welcome” to “ mentally ill folks feel welcome”
Fixed.
As for Target, FU until the sun goes dark.
I'm sure that the couple hundred bucks a month that I dropped at Target won't bankrupt them, but I hope that a couple of million people feel the same way I do.
I like Target. Hopefully, the board comes to their senses and cans the current executive team.
How many “Transgender” employees does Target have?
As I said, until you see a quarterly report where Target underperformed its sector, don’t expect them to budge. If you can’t hit their bottom line hard, they aren’t going to change....
Last quarters earnings call is coming up, but the policy went into place just a week or two before the end of quarter... so, doubt you will see any impact, So, will have to wait probably until August to see any impact on anything they have to release publicly.
Bruce Jenner I hear is now not sure which bathroom he will be choosing. Says maybe he is going to UN transition...these folks are mentally dangerous and need a separate bathroom just for them..
Creating the policy is like paying protection money to the mob. By bowing to the Left, Target avoids being pilloried by every journalist, politician, college student, celebrity, rent-a-mobster, etc.
And of course when Target collapses they’ll blame the Right Wing Conservatives for their demise.
In a mental institution.
I am starting to notice retailers permanently closing their customer restrooms, rather than get dragged into this controversy. So the only ones that suffer here are people with health conditions that compel frequent bathroom breaks.
There will be an incident at Target where a man either will expose or assault a women/child in the restroom.
There will be a civil lawsuit and Target will loose big time. I can hear the plaintiff’s attorney saying, “Target has failed in taking necessary precautions to protect my client in their store and provide a safe environment for customers.”
Lawyers can these “SLAM DUNK” cases.
SCREW’M!
Never buy from Target again. I went back last year only because they had a specific product I like that nobody else carries, but I’ll adjust my likes rather than buy from them again. I’d quit before over the Christmas brouhaha, but now for good.
I wonder what really goes into their calculations to make them stick to this insanity.
A million people protest, which probably means quite a few more say nothing but will never walk in the door again.
Yet being PC is more important. Either they’re getting $$$ from some LBGTQ organization, or even the government to cover the losses, or they figure everyone else is going to do the same thing so it won’t matter anyway.
Strange days we live in.
Target shareholders should sue the BOD for putting politics before business. It’s malfeasance, at least.
Or, “Shooting at an obstinate Target”
They’re looking at it from the stand point of, will their Liberal business increase to make up for it.
Maybe it will.
I could have said something about coming at this thing this precipitously. Driving them further into the arms of the “enemy.” This is not a new problem either.
Oh and: Target Stocks Crash Down Another $2 Billion CEO Defends Pro-Transgender Policy
We shall see, we shall see.
Compared to whom? Got to look at the entire sector (including wally world)
