4/26/16 USA Today:
A conservative Christian activist
group has gained more than half a million signatures and counting from
people pledging to boycott Target over its transgender bathroom policy.
The petition started by the American Family Association
on Wednesday raises concerns that Target's inclusive stance on
transgender rights encourages sexual predators and puts women and young
girls in danger, because "a man can simply say he 'feels like a woman
today' and enter the women's restroom."
The boycott has more than 517,000 signatures as of Monday afternoon, marking it as one of AFA's most popular campaigns....
"We certainly respect that there are a wide variety of perspectives
and opinions," says Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder. "As a company that
firmly stands behind what it means to offer our team an inclusive place
to work — and our guests an inclusive place to shop — we continue to
believe that this is the right thing for Target."
She added that
hundreds of Target stores "have single-stall, family restrooms for those
who may be more comfortable with that option."
Target made its
position public in a blog post last week, stating that the company
welcomes "transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or
fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity." The
announcement comes as legislation on transgender issues in multiple
states has spurred several major corporations and businesses to take a
stance on LGBT rights.
Homosexuals have made a huge mistake inviting transgendered under the blanket. You can sign up
