Looks Like The Boycotting of Target for its Transgender Bathroom Policy is Taking its Toll

by Tim Brown, Freedom Outpost:

In April 2016, Americans banned together to boycott Target over their transgender bathroom policy and it worked.  The effects of that boycott are still being felt by the retail giant today.

Over 1 million people decided to boycott Target, which led to their stocks plunging by $2.5 billion in just 10 days!

While liberal pundits said the boycotts had nothing to do with Target’s stocks plummeting, they continued to fall weeks later, and the reality is in the long term, we have seen them tank tremendously.

Just weeks after the boycott began, Target made a really bad PR move and sued one of its customers for grabbing a baseball bat to fight off an attacker of a female customer in their store.

Warner Todd Huston reported that Target will be closing a dozen stores to go with smaller retail outlets.

Retail giant Target has been struggling for well over a year since its decision to allow transgender men to use bathrooms and changing rooms designated for women. Now, the chain is closing a dozen stores as part of an effort to retool its stores in smaller spaces.

The Minnesota-based company announced the closings this week, saying it was a difficult decision, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

“It’s not a decision we make lightly,” said Target spokesperson Kristy Welker. “We have a really rigorous process in place in evaluating the performance of a store in deciding when to close or relocate a store. We close a store after seeing several years of decreasing profitability.”

The retailer has launched a campaign to downsize its massive outlets into smaller spaces concentrated in larger urban areas. The company plans to open 32 smaller locations this year and as many as 35 next year.

If that were all, one might think they were just reforming themselves, but there’s more.

Then, in early in April 2016, over 1.5 million people signed the American Family Association pledge boycotting the megastore. This boycott was in response to Target’s announcement of their transgender friendly bathroom and changing room policy, putting women at risk every time they try on an outfit or take a bathroom break.
