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.

Which explains perfectly why none of them learned a thing regards the j.c. penny debacle.
You can always count on liberals to double-down on their own stupidity.
True. However some diversity officer and upper leadership feel good, so that’s all that counts to them. Well, until it begins to hurt their sales.
I’m not sure women care enough to hurt Target over this insanity. That’s how far we have fallen. I buy that Traget would have this policy for social justice reasons, but not Trump. What, he doesn’t know what his women customers think is a deal breaker? I don’t buy it.
I hope I am wrong. I wish FR had a reminder button you could set to get pinged back to threads after 3 months, 6 months, and so on. We will know eventually if we can remember.

Target is already losing millions in revenue so I guess we shall see how it plays out.
As I posted elsewhere today, today I proudly liquidated my very modest position in Target. I bought a few shares when the stock price tanked after the identity theft crisis because I knew Target customers are loyal and that the stock price would bounce back. I will send their CEO 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.
The boycott will shortly total over 2 million people.
Christmas time is the biggest shopping season of the year.
2 Million petition signers represent families, so 8 million people are not having their Christmas bought at Target.
Conservatively, let’s call that 100 dollars per Christmas per person. 800 million bucks.
Target loses a billion dollars over a totally UNNECESSARY policy.
