    Reversing their position is repenting, no? :)

    Not as far as God is concerned... God desires for them to get born again... not change their mind in the bathroom.

    Surely Micheal Brown included in his write up that they need to accept Jesus so they don't burn.

    If we're not going to present the call to action to accept Jesus, then we really orght to just shut up cause it's just noise.

    Um... Target can't repent and accept Christ, its a retail store not a person. They are in the business of selling merchandise not converting people. I disagree with their position on transgender use of bathrooms they are offering a solution. I haven't shopped at Target since they went gender neutral on children's clothes. I think it was stupid idea and also there are two genders created by God, to deny something that obvious is just plain dumb.

    I don't think y'all are getting it. They are putting the "normal" private restrooms in for you and I to use if we don't want to take a chance at sharing a restroom with a transgender person. To them it would be discrimination to tell a transgender that they can use the private restroom if they don't want to use the one that corresponds with their birth gender. It has already been addressed on news programs.

    From an email from the AFA:

    Target shows desperation - takes unprecedented action amid boycott


    Dear Friend,

    Struggling to make up for deep losses, Target has demonstrated just how desperate things are becoming for the company that lets men use the women's restrooms and dressing rooms.

    For the first time in its history, Target offered a 10% discount on every product in its stores and online this past Sunday. To take advantage of Target's sale, shoppers had to cut out a coupon from Sunday's weekly and take it to Target's stores. Online orders automatically applied the discount.

    The unusual sale tactic came one week after Target reported a massive 7.2% drop in sales in the second quarter, following the launch of the AFA #BoycottTarget campaign.
    Target CEO Brian Cornell admitted in a conference call with media that traffic is way down and that sales are hurting. "In the second quarter, our No. 1 challenge was traffic, which affected sales in all of our merchandise categories," he said.

    Although he did not mention the AFA boycott by name, 1.4 million people have pledged to Mr. Cornell that they will not shop at Target.

    TAKE ACTION

    If you haven't already, sign the pledge to boycott Target now! Target should not allow men to enter the women's restrooms and dressing rooms.

    Call Target and let them know you've signed the Pledge. Call Target Guest Relations at 1-800-440-0680, option 1, then 1 again.

    Share your concerns on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/target. When sharing this on social media use #BoycottTarget.

    People should also demand the resignation of the CEO for his arrogance

    Target Retailer Hits $15 Billion Loss Since Pro-Transgender Announcement

    -
    The stock value of transgender-champion Target Corp. crashed by 13.5 percent this week after the company’s sales again fell below investors’ expectations.

    Target’s stock value is now down by 30 percent since it sparked a consumer boycott by embracing the transgender political agenda. That 30 percent drop has slashed investors’ wealth by roughly $15 billion.

    On Tuesday, the stock fell to $58.78, down from its April 19 high of $83.98. In contrast, WalMart is up 3 percent since April, and Kohl’s is down less than one percent...

    We haven't been in a Home Depot store since we started boycotting it. Money talks and if I have a choice, I will use it.

    I saw a magazine ad the other day and it was 2 men sitting on a couch watching TV (they were eating a snack sitting as a married couple together at the end of the day). It was an ad for Ikea furniture. I don't intend to support them not when there are plenty of other places to shop. Several years ago, AFA ask people to boycott Kmart because of some pornography in one of their companies (not in Kmart itself but in book stores they owned at that time). I boycotted it along with thousands of others. I don't think Kmart ever really bounced back. After the boycott was lifted, I still very seldom ever went into a Kmart. This was back in the late 80's and early 90's. I think they eventually sold the book stores and the boycott was lifted. AFA does a great work. Known of them since the early 80's.

    However, I do what I can to avoid those companies if there is an alternative - Just as I don't patronize Home Depot any more - Lowe's is just fine.

    Many stores need to be boycotted. Impossible to boycott all of them.
