It's reported that around 700,000 or more people plan to boycott Target stores as Target has stated that their toilets will now be available for cross gender customers

Not sure what this has to do with this thread, but...

good for Target. I don't usually shop there, but I'll make sure to go there this week to show my support for them.

[Edit: I see the boycott is being promoted by "The American Family Association (AFA), which has been designated an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center".

Me too

It's a win/win really.All those people boycotting means no crowded store and less people using the bathroom ( whatever their gender)

The problem with boycotting Target is to be really consistent you have to also boycott a really long list of companies.

Won't even make a dent. They all probably already shop at Walmart anyway.

Statistically a child is more likely to be abused by someone they know than a stranger. So probably better to keep them away from family gatherings and sleepovers than public toilets.


Good for Target. I'm sure that I (and all the people protesting against this) have shared a bathroom with someone transgender at some point without even realizing, anyway.
