Target CEO Brian Cornell says the company isn't backing down from its stance on transgender bathrooms, despite a widespread backlash.

Brian Cornell, you go girl!
And don’t forget the massive security breach from a year or so ago.
Target is a teetering relic and a refuge for deviants. I’d sooner buy used underwear at a NAMBLA flea market.
Any predictions on how long this idiot keeps his job?
Losing BILLIONS of dollars is not a job enhancer.
This CEO is just dealing with other people’s money. What does he care if Target goes under.
Go for it dip$hit! You shot yourself in one foot, but there’s at least one round left; go for the other foot.
I guess Target’s investors and board of directors have no problem with declining revenue...
It took many years for traditional Americans to lose their power - and it will take many years to get it back.
The longest journey starts with one step forward...
That much? How much do they bring in a typical week? I’d think $4.5 billion make the guy a little more contrite.
I’d also like to know how they can get away with their bathroom policy in cities that have ordinances on the books that prevent men from using women’s bathroom. Then again most cities probably never thought it would be an issue.
De-legitimizing black civil rights by comparing it with transvestites is no way to increase profits.
Stock price drop won’t do it. A loss needs to be reflected in the quarterly earnings to show a boycott having any affect.
The Dow fell nearly 200 points today. As far as Target goes, it’s going to take a while to separate the signal from all the noise, IMO.
Dunno,,shareholders wilbe plenty pissed. Lost over 2 billion so far.
Seems like the laws would take precedence.
Atta boy make your stand, that will bring back the shoppers.
It would seem to me that Target’s policy is urging people to break the law. Isn’t that against the law?
LOL! Who knows? I can't keep us with this mess.:-)
Actually stock is a future indication of what the market thinks the company’s worth. As the boycott numbers increase, Target owners might start to throw it away and move on.
I finally convinced my wife to liquidate her Apple stock. Why? Not because Apple’s CEO is gay. Because China is in trouble and hence the stock price. Notice how the Apple watch saved the day. I also think the CEO is trying to convince us that gay is great rather than Apple is great. When they buried Jobs they buried the heart of Apple.
Today I proudly liquidated my very modest (approx. $2,000) position in Target. I bought a few shares when the stock price tanked after the identity theft leak because I knew Target customers are loyal and that the stock price would bounce back. I will send Cornell my order confirmation with an explanatory note. We are a family of six including three teenage daughters and a teenage son and we will not be stepping foot in a Target store unless and until this offensive policy is reversed and an apology is issued.
Thanks for reminding me. That was when I stopped going there. Haven’t been to a Target since and have no plans to return.
What Target gets to discover that they never should have forgotten:
“Target is not necessary”
