May the silent, moral majority of America begin to rise up against evil and stand for common sense, righteous values!
TARGET STOCKS SLIDE AFTER ONE MILLION BOYCOTT RETAILER OVER TRANSGENDERED POLICY
Target could lose over $1.5 billion annually
The company’s stock dropped from $83.98 per share on April 19, when Target announced its new policy, to around $81.33 on April 28 when the petition hit one million signatures.
Target’s new policy allows “transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity,” the retailer stated in a press release which sparked nationwide condemnation.
“Target’s policy is exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims, and with Target publicly boasting that men can enter women’s bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?” The petition drafted by the American Family Association states. “Clearly, Target’s dangerous new policy poses a danger to wives and daughters.”
“We think many customers will agree.”
It certainly appears so, but just how bad will Target’s bathroom policy hurt the company’s bottom line?
Given that the average Target customer spends $62 per trip, according to credit card records, and that the customer conservatively visits the retailer twice per month, a boycott of one million people will likely cost the retailer $1.5 billion annually and perhaps even more.
“We should also consider that most people who decide to move their business from Target to some other retailer will likely never sign a petition,” Mark West with the Patriot Post reported. “They’ll simply leave Target in disgust as they see a company that has abandoned common sense values.”
“So it’s not far fetched to conclude that at the end of the day, the total financial impact to Target will be $5-10 billion in lost revenue annually, approximately 10% of its annual sales.”
put your money where your mouth is?!! I’m glad, we hit the target! bull”s eye!
Great! I had the petition come through e mail too and sent it on!
We may have to do others in time, it is bad !
I already stayed away from these companies, but here are more companies following Target including Starbucks.

Thanks for the info. Look, I don’t have a problem with Starbucks. Every Starbucks I’ve ever been in (which is a lot), they have unisex bathrooms where only one person at a time can use them. That’s not a dangerous situation for a woman. If a Starbucks store has multi-stalled bathrooms where men can slip in to them at the same time women are using them, now I have a problem. This is a potentially dangerous situation for girls and women. I would definitely boycott that store. I have no problem with unisex bathrooms where one person at a time uses them behind a locked door. Subway has the same situation. No problem for me. It’s like the bathroom at home. So why didn’t Target just install some uni-sex bathrooms for the transgendered weirdos to use and save themselves and all the rest of us the grief? It’s because the Christophobes who hate God and the Bible are determined to cram their fascistic, evil, anti-Bible agendas down our throats. They’re counting on the notion that we’ll not carry through with our threats to boycott, and that their bottom financial line won’t be negatively impacted. Well, now it’s time to show them that enough is enough and that we mean it this time!!!!!!
