Continuing to Stand for Inclusivity
Recent debate around proposed laws in several states has reignited a national conversation around inclusivity. So earlier this week, we reiterated with our team members where Target stands and how our beliefs are brought to life in how we serve our guests.
Inclusivity is a core belief at Target. It’s something we celebrate. We stand for equality and equity, and strive to make our guests and team members feel accepted, respected and welcomed in our stores and workplaces every day.
We believe that everyone—every team member, every guest, and every community—deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally. Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination.
In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways. Most relevant for the conversations currently underway, we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.
We regularly assess issues and consider many factors such as impact to our business, guests and team members. Given the specific questions these legislative proposals raised about how we manage our fitting rooms and restrooms, we felt it was important to state our position.
Everyone deserves to feel like they belong. And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target.
A close friend of mine who was sexually assaulted has a much different take on this, the words they used to describe this are not fit to be typed here.
Ironically some SJW’s on Social Media claim this will make them feel safer. Key word is “feel.”
“Gun-free” and now crawling with pervs. Target is the perfect name for them.
So for transgenders, that would be a trash can.
It does not matter to me. I do not shop at Target, nor do I buy from Target on line.
Since I very rarely go to a Target, I’ll make it a point never to go there again.
Get to it, pervs! Target’s just invited you in.
Just write out a string of zeros for the lawsuit, Target.
I guess Target doesn’t believe that women deserve to be protected from biological males who use the female restrooms. Target is actually discriminating against heterosexuals. Maybe heteros should take their business elsewhere and let the rainbow gang have Target to themselves.
Going full J. C. Penny are they? Locally here in NE FL, Target is a lot like Walmart but more expensive and under utilized I would hope Mrs. Afterguard never encounters a tranny in the ladies head. (Like many here she is always armed.) Too bad if people were to just stop shopping there.
The end of Ladies’ rooms. The inauguration of sexual predation rooms for men. This is Women’s Rights?
Go up to the customer service desk and ask the following question: “I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. Which restroom should I use?”
Unless you are a Christian.
I’ll allow any family members to use target. My girls aren’t getting oggled, imposed upon, made uncomfortable, or raped.
I can’t remember the last time I was in a Target. But, it was the last time!
Who goes to the bathroom at Target?
The great thing about America’s capitalist system is that Targets customers, shareholders, and vendors get to decide if they want to be tarnished by perverts in Targets restrooms.
And our family’s year-old boycott of Target continues unabated. This despite my visceral hatred of Walmart.
Pretty soon American women won’t even leave their own homes to shop . . . and when we do our men will come with us to guard us . . . and we’ll just throw an old scarf over our heads because men are impatient to get going . . . wait a minute . . . wait a minute . . .
