Including me. I've been boycotting them for years now because of their gay policies.....



Corrections and clarifications: A previous version of this story incorrectly referenced North Carolina's transgender bathroom law. It requires transgender individuals to use public restrooms associated with the sex on their birth certificate.

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.

If the left can do the boycott game then so should the right. Because money doesn't just talks, it screams.

Been doing that for years...just as I avoid going to Wal-Mart whenever possible. If I have to pay a bit more by going somewhere else, then that's what I do.

I totally hate how they force you to make out with a dude to get the 10% discount.

People here in Canada boycotted Target because their products were shabby, often out of stock, and overpriced compared to WalMart and other similar stores. As a result, they packed up and left Canada several $billion poorer for the failed experiment.

That's a much more reasoned form of protest, in my humble opinion.

Left and right, people have been doing boycotts for a long time. I am not going to do like the right did and scream how unfair a boycott is, right up until it is a boycott I like. I support the right of any one to boycott, for whatever reason they want.

No one boycotted Target, no one ever wanted to go in the first place.

I'm so tired of boycotts being assaults on free speech one moment (yes, that is a specific example taken from reality) or more American than mom and apple pie in the next instance, and all according to which political orientation the cause implies.

They make their employees wear khakis?

I really don't think gay people would willingly choose to wear khakis. In fact, aside from tourists from the midwest, nobody willingly wears khakis.

Eh....they sell nothing but **** anyway.


I still can't wrap my head around this. It's very simple.

Do you have a penis or a vagina, currently? Penis? Great, use the men's room. Vagina? Awesome. Use the women's room.

What if you have both? Do you alternate? Flip a coin? What?
