The Rev. Franklin Graham says Target CEO Brian Cornell is in denial over the reason for the company's plunging stock prices, insisting that the conservative boycott against the retailer's transgender bathroom policies is playing a key role.
"Target stock is tumbling after they announced a pro-transgender restroom policy allowing men to use women's bathrooms and changing rooms. Stock value has fallen 20 percent and shareholder value has lost $10 billion since they began promoting this dangerous policy," Graham wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.
He then referred to a media statement made by Cornell, where he denied suggestions that the conservative boycott is to blame for Target's financial setbacks.
"To date we have not seen a material or measurable impact on our business. Just a handful of stores across the country have seen some activity and have been impacted," Cornell told Forbes last week.
Graham responded: "Really? He must be in denial. Wake up corporate America and stockholders American families clearly do not want this. Over 1.2 million people have signed the online petition to boycott Target stores. This is sending a strong message, and I hope that millions more will sign it."
The leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association linked to the petition started by the American Family Association, which has collected over 1.2 million signatures against Target's new bathroom policies allowing customers and employees to choose which bathroom they go to based on their gender identity.
While Target has explained that its directive is aimed at being inclusive and helping all customers feel welcomed, AFA warned that it opens up a very dangerous situation for women.

I forgot to address this to you: TGT stock has lost 23% since the bathroom policy.
LOL! Denial of facts on the ground will not save your investment in Target. Basurds deserve the backlash and they will reap the storm..
transvestites were made up for when liberals ran out of REAL people (like blacks, Hispanics, etc.) to try and label as “victims.”
Sorry-—got to really protect the boys, too. They are the ones that are targeted more by the Satanists and homosexuals and perverts. More boys are being raped than girls, and boys are aways preferred by the Satanists and the sodomites. Little boys have been always raped—and it was normal in Sparta, Samurai and in the Middle East and all Satanic Rites, because women are filthy/bleed and produce milk....it is why muslims rape little girls, boys and goats and males.
This Marxist push is to destroy the dignity of both male and female, destroy the male/female paradigm, so that “Mother and Father” can be erased—eliminated from the Nation so the State has total control of all ideas children get (oh—they already do that with publik skools).
The Left needs to destroy individualism for their collective mindset in children—where boys and girls are no big deal-—sex differences are blurred, and eliminated-—they want to destroy the mystery and dignity of the opposite sex and they need to destroy mystery and innocence to destroy normal sexual identity formation which demands INNOCENCE (Christian Worldview only). Pagan cultures were vulgar, children were vulgarized and Christianity only elevated women which eventually gave them dignity and put them on a pedestal—The Romance Period.
Eastern countries never had the “Romance” period—or put women on a pedestal like Western Civ. The Leftists are trying to destroy the mystery and dignity of the opposite sex to destroy natural instincts in chlldren. They have to destroy Natural sexual identity formation in children to flip 2000 years of ethics to the muslim, pagan, vulgar ‘ethics” —to corrupt children and make them like little muslim harem boys where sex has no meaning—no dignity and raping a goat is the same as raping girls (anally) and women (anally) as is typical in the muslim world.
Why do you think they made the sodomite movie “Shades of Grey” which was a big push to normalize anal sex with women.....a continuation of the sodomite movie of Deep Throat in the 60s. Corrupting the culture is essential to collapse it. Vice creates Slaves.
Without Virtue formation in childhood, Freedom is impossible.
Insightful post!
They should take note of what happened to J.C.Penny and The Dixie Chicks when you anger your customer base.
I think TJ Maxx, Marshall’s and Home Goods have followed suit.
I called their customer service holiness and a woman launched into this ‘inclusion’ speech. She went on and on and I told her to stop reading their policy to me. She said she wasn’t reading from anything and I told her “Well, shame on you for believing that and for putting men in a room where i am partially clothed and vulnerable. “
Make no mistake. This isn’t about transgenders. This is about abusing women and putting fear into them.
It’s just plain perverted.
How about 3 bathrooms? Men’s, Women’s, and Pervert’s.
Sorry, but the Target Board of Directors has been pushing LGBT agenda since at least 2006, meaning that at least some of the Board were supporting it before majority votes set their seal of approval. All that predates current CEO’s tenure.
Target treated Canada as if it were a US state, forgetting critical differences like currency, culture, and supply chain. Screwed up the Canadian expansion so bad they had to close 133 stores right about the time they all opened.
It’s not just your daughters that need protecting, men’s rooms are worse than women’s when it comes to unwanted sexual behavior. Would you trust your 7 year old son in one?
Females who think they are males are now demanding the use of the men’s room from bathroom to dressing room.
Goal is no gender bathrooms.
You’d have to cut liquids off 2 hrs before you leave the house, and small children have smaller bladders. Then there are those of us who take “water pills” for high BP, and we use the RR more, regardless of going before we leave home you will need the RR in less than 2 hrs.
Many digestive disorders send you to the RR more frequently too.
We’d have to stay home totally if we did not have the ability to use a RR when needed.

Maybe stock figures will rise for the company that makes Depends — maybe Kimberly Clark?
Ive been having a chat with someone that feels the transgender issue and bathrooms isnt that big a deal because they are such a small minority.That trans people have already been using the bathroom of thier choice and likely we didnt even notice.That other things are more important and this isnt the hill to die on.
Really? Little girls and boys at thier most vulnerable having to use the potty and possibly coming face to face with pedophiles,perverts and freaks isnt a hill to die on?
Then kindly explain to me what hill is worth dieing on?As a father I always stood outside the door while my girls or sons used the restroom and God have mercy on the soul of anyone that would have bothered them because they would recieve no mercy from me.Its long past time that we said no more,if we dont draw a line in the sand now,,then it is already too late.
Make your voice heard now.
You’re not angry at me, are you? (The tone...?)
I think the whole thing is the epitome of disgusting and debauchery. Selfishly, I’m glad I have no children or grandchildren, although I do worry about my sister’s grandchildren — and all kids.
I can’t even wrap my head around what is happening in our country. So many things have happened that have been “hills worth dying on”. Satan is alive, well, and walking among us.
Tell your friend: It ain't about bathrooms.
It is about the destruction of our society and the underlying values that protect our society.
If their board wont man up and remove him, target deserves to go into bankruptcy.
Actually, for any women on their board, we probably shouldn’t be hoping for them to ‘man up’ on this issue....
I called their customer service holiness..
did you get a blessing to go long with the sermon...?
