How about Planet Fitness? They’re actually running these “we don’t judge” pro-tranny ads on TV now. Their Twitter account is even retweeting transgender stories.

Boycott until they rescind the policy or go out of business.

Wow, who would have thought that attempting to gather the business of less than 3% of the population while pissing off 35% would be a bad business decision?

And who would have thought that doubling down on a bad business decision would also be a bad business decision?

Don’t let this article fool you. It was CEO Brian Cornell’s policy that allowed perverts into Targets bathrooms. Cornell is a LGBT activist who is now trying to slightly walk back his position.

Brian Cornell was blindsided.

Has he also been rear-ended? You decide.

Yeah... maybe. But you'd have to give me pretty good odds before I'd bet any money on it. Doubling down on stupid seems to be one thing they are really good at.

Best comment following that article....

JFK put a man on the moon and Obama put a man in the girls bathroom.

A gay couple has a Darwinian advantage because two people work full time without the need to raise a child. So gays become CEOs often from the work ethic.

The CEO then mistakes their success with the public customer’s approval of their lifestyle. The public is instead revulsed by poor lifestyle choices, pushed on to the product.

Moral of the story.

DO NOT BUY GAY STOCKS!

Do not buy stocks with gay CEOs. It has a higher likelyhood of failure. Especially when a hetero company, of relative success, is taken over to become a homo company.

I know of no study because it would be censored.

"And you'll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target."

Unless you're a normal human being.

“”Everyone deserves to feel like they belong,” the post said. “And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target.” “

Unless you are a heterosexual little girl in which case some deranged perverted pedophile will be in the bathroom with you with Targay’s policies.

For a year now, weve been told by through the news media that the boycott was just a few fringe people and it was having absolutely no effect on Target’s business. That Target was setting a good example by taking a strong corporate stand.

Now suddenly the narrative changes. Target was never trying to take a stand that offended its customers. It all started with an innocuous blog post that wasn’t even approved in advance by the top management. This big bad boycott that is ruining the company is all a misunderstanding and an overreaction.

And we’ve always been at war with Eastasia... /sarc

I stopped going to any TArget when they stopped Bell ringers from the Salvation Army from doing such in front of their stores at Christmas time.
The company went to shit back then. Then pushed for freaks to be allowed in ladies rest rooms and I’m hoping they tank completely.
Hell with em.

“Everyone deserves to feel like they belong,” the post said. “And you’ll always be accepted, respected and welcomed at Target.”

They made their choice. The net effect of their policy change was to advance the progressive agenda. That moved it from personal to a matter of corporate identity. In essence they told me that they wanted to accept my money but not my values.

It is not a matter of flaunting the policy change. The issue was that they even thought the change was a good thing and should be done.

I haven’t set foot in a Target since.

The boycott cost the company millions in lost sales and added expenses.

But Target management and the MSM assured us that their downturn in business WASN'T because of the boycott. This must be wrong. / sarc

Target CEO Brian Cornell never approved the post and found out about it only after it was published, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Oh, I doubt that. Amazing that a major American CEO fails to understand the concept of Responsibility. Doesn't matter who actually made the post, or whether he reviewed it.

Target is still in business? They lost me, but I guess the $25 or so I used to spend there once or twice a year wasn’t as important to their bottom line as I had hoped.

I have read in more than a few places that Cornell is himself a ‘rump ranger’. If that is true there is no way that Cornell was ‘blind-sided’ by this policy decision.

With that in mind it is hard to view this article as nothing more that the first shot at trying to recover from a horribly bad policy decision. I expect more such articles that white-wash the decision and also announce incremental roll-backs to it.

“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.
