“We took a stance, and we are going to continue to embrace our belief of diversity and inclusion,” Cornell said in an interview with CNBC in May.”

I will continue to not shop there. I don’t understand these stupid CEOs. I guess living in gated communities makes you out of touch with everyday Americans and reality. Have these idiots that own these companies declaring ‘inclusiveness’ not thought about what will happen if a female gets raped in a bathroom by some pervert dressed as a woman? You know it’s going to happen and if a company has openly promoted it, that person is going to end up owning them.

I noticed a Burger King that I go to frequently is taking steps to protect themselves. The woman’s bathroom use to have 3 stalls and now they have changed it to one big room with one toilet. Now you have to stand in line outside the bathroom and wait longer if there is a group of women. I can’t blame them. They didn’t have room to add a ‘non-gender’ bathroom so guess who suffers. I’m sure the men’s bathroom is still the same.

Even if he didn't know about the blog post, he had ample opportunities to disavow the policy. Instead, it was his pleasure to embrace perverts in the bathroom...so to speak.

If the CEO truly did not approve of that blog, he could have made it right within 24 hours and fired the employees involved.

We have a Target and a Wal-Mart about a mile or so from our house, they are side by side to each other. We used to go to Targets 2 to 3 times a week. I haven’t been back since. Not a giant fan of Wal-Mart, but Target just made my shopping decisions easier by their stupidity.

BS that the message “was never approved”.

Total damage control.
Too late for that.

I also doubt that their sales are only down 6%. That number is suspect as well. They are not going to be honest about how much their stupidity cost them.

>>How about Planet Fitness?

Part of the meat-market culture of self-worship.

Meanwhile in Natural Law reality land:

>>the mellenials now claim 20% of them are gay.

IOW, 20% of them have been brainwashed into a dysfunctional stupor that precludes being able to identify a member of the opposite sex with whom to create reproductively viable offspring.

The sociobiological suicide of a culture.

That SJW CEO should be out of a job. Like Starbucks axed their SJW CEO.

Nor will Budweiser for its insane cisgender marriage commercials during football.

I don't recall seeing anything like that, and I watched a fair amount of football last fall.
