Target's stocks are imploding as over 1 million people have now signed the boycott pledge against the company for its bathroom and changing room policy to allow members of both sexes and those who are confused about their gender.
Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, the organization that hosts the petition, said that there were nearly 75 people per minute who were adding their names to the petition.
"That's a million families who are going to spread the word about Target, so they may not get those customers back," Wildmon said.
Target's "management is just going to have step up here [and] say 'We're selling hammers and hats, we're not into social engineering,'" he added.
Breitbart reports:
The boycott was announced April 20 by the association, one day after Target revealed its decision to favor its few transgender customers and staff over the rest of the population. A study of the 2010 census data suggests that only about 1 in 2,400 adults change their names to match names used by the other sex.
Wildmon's association wants to affirm people's privacy in bathrooms and changing rooms, but also to block the progressives' multi-front push to stigmatize and outlaw any recognition of the average differences between women and men, and between boys and girls. The LGBT agenda "is being rammed down people's throats, and people are losing their jobs because of it, and it is becoming so that you can't think differently from these people or you're [called] a hater or a bigot," he said.
Since the decision was announced, numerous comments, articles, and videos protesting the store's one-sided decision have gone viral. Public opinion has moved and hardened in opposition to the previously bizarre notion of dual-sex bathrooms and changing rooms, and Target's brand as a family friendly store has taken a hit, as the online conversation shifted from its claim of "cheap chic" to worries of privacy, sexual predators, and the anger at the company's disregard for the reasoned judgement of its middle-class customers.
"This is how people can fight back — they're not going to shop at Target," said Wildmon.
Of course, Target doesn't want anyone to know about the plethora of sex crimes associated with its stores in light of their bathroom policy. Some try and push an agenda about women who mutilate their bodies and pump them full of hormones to appear as men and ask, "Do you want this person to use the women's room?" However, the reality is that is just a ploy for the perverts to walk casually into the restroom to molest, rape and exploit women and children. In other words, this entire thing is the LGBT agenda that is being used to overturn the law and allow the lawless to dictate standards.
However, Target is going to pay a steep price for their immorality. In fact, they already are. Since the boycott was announced, the company's stock lost $4.87 per share. Lest you think that is a small number. That's a nearly $2.5 billion hit and 5.8 percent in just 10 days!
AFA has stated that Target could simply solve the problem they have brought on themselves. "One solution is a common-sense approach and a reasonable solution to the issue of transgendered customers: a unisex bathroom," wrote Wildmon. "Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex bathroom option should be provided."
Wildmon not only encourages people to sign the pledge, but also to contact Target and let them know you've gotten involved and taken action. Call Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680.
This is how you do it America! If you want to teach corporations that sponsor immorality, you have to hit them in the pocketbook. They understand money, and shaming them and depriving them of money is a good lesson in humility for Target and other companies that promote the sexual deviancy of the sodomite agenda.
We have about 3 Target stores within 4 square miles, I don’t shop at any of them.. I didn’t like them before t he boycott.
...trannies can’t afford stock.....with the cost of ladies shoes....especially in sizes 11 and up extra wide.
actually the Penny flap over queers was trivial compared to the setting aside of 100 years of retail experience. Once the CEO was fired and tried and true retail methods returned, Pennys returned to profitability
Yes, we need to demand the NBA have Trannies on the floor, one per team!
May target continue to sink with the sodomites. Make no mistake, Boycotts work for decent people too.
Good. Stop the pedophile agenda.
IIRC, stockholders can sue (or even dissolve) the board for malpractice.
The strange thing about pedophiles is that their brains can’t be re-programed to prevent their preying on innocent children.
It would appear that execution is the only cure. They would be joining the druggies. The protection of our children should be paramount.
I hope this ruins the executives’ stock options-—
This debacle comes on top of the billion dollar losses Target incurred as a result of its Canadian misadventures....caused the Target CEO to resign.
Seems the smartalecs failed to factor in Canadian currency and they forgot to figure out Canadian measurements when building warehouses.....faulty shelving ended up not being able to hold big ticket items.
Target was forced out of the Canadian market w/ huge losses.
I don’t buy crap at Target, so I guess it is a boycott on autopilot.
Is it just me, or does Target usually have something “close” to what you what, but never had “exactly” what you want? Since we moved, we don’t have a Target within a convenient distance, but where reused to live, there was one within walking distance. So often, I walked in, looked around, walked out and drove to Walmart to get what I wanted.
Is Target still operated by the French?
I used to go often, sometimes weekly, food shopping and such.
I have stopped shopping at Target, completely.
Are you convincing yourself, or others, that boycotts don’t work.
Minneapolis, MN.
There market has been diving over the last few days.
Target stock will go back up.
Of course, there is no doubt their sales are going to take a hit from people who don’t want to go there.
There is a video of a father guarding the restroom at Target so his daughter can use it and Target staff gave him a hard time.
I guess women will need to carry pepper spray in the bathrooms just to be able to pee.
They are just weird... pricey too...
“Target staff gave him a hard time.”
