Texas AG confronts Target over transgender restrooms after another woman is videotaped in changing room

Image
Another woman has said a man recorded as she changed her clothes inside a dressing room inside a Target store in Texas . The woman is the second to report that experience in Texas alone since Target reiterated its national gender-neutral restroom and changing room policy. A   Frisco, Texas, woman   says a man caught her on video while changing on May 3. "You don't think something like that is going to happen," the latest victim told the Dallas News . "Right now I just don't feel comfortable going back,” she added, referring to the Target location on Abrams Road. The repeated victimization of women by male voyeurs spurred state Attorney General Ken Paxton to write the company’s chairman. "After this latest incident, I hope Target finally recognizes the importance of protecting its customers, especially in environments where they can be at their most vulnerable,” said Paxton, who is also the lead plaintiff in a multi-state lawsuit against the...

Over 750,000 pledge to boycott Target for giving men access to women’s bathrooms

Image
Over 750,000 people have pledged to boycott Target over the company’s new policy allowing men to use women’s bathrooms . The American Family Association, which launched the   petition , says the fact that it’s generated such a large response in only five days shows how outraged Americans are. “American families are concerned about their wives and daughters being harmed by predators or voyeurs who will now have more freedom to enter women’s bathrooms,” AFA president Tim Wildmon . “There are many more sex offenders in America than transgender people, so we believe that Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the transgender community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided, as AFA has proposed.” Target announced its new policy last week, writing in a statement that it would allow people to use bathrooms based on their self-determined “ gender identity ” and not biological reali...

Texas AG to Target: Show me how you’ll protect women and kids from criminals

Image
The latest backlash Target received as a result of its transgender bathroom policy was a letter from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asking the company to provide its safety policies to protect women and children from “those who would use the cover of Target’s restroom policy for nefarious purposes.”  “Target, of course, is free to choose such a policy for its Texas stores,” Paxton wrote in a letter to Target CEO Brian Cornell. He noted the possibility of the Texas Legislature addressing the issue in the future, but said, “regardless of whether Texas legislates on this topic, it is possible that allowing men in women’s restrooms could lead to criminal and otherwise unwanted activity.” “As chief lawyer and law enforcement officer for the State of Texas , I ask that you provide the full text of Target’s safety policies regarding the protection of women and children from those who would use the cover of Target’s restroom policy for nefarious purposes,” Paxton   ...

Retail chain Target joins legal battle against man-woman marriage

Image
English: Logo of Target, US-based retail chain (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) After several years of support for homosexual advocacy efforts, the retail chain Target has joined the legal fight to dismantle the definition of marriage as one and one woman. The company announced this week that they have filed an amicus brief with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals backing “marriage equality.” In a blog post  Tuesday, Jodee Kozlak, Target’s executive vice president and chief human resources officer, said they filed the brief to oppose bans on same-sex “marriage” in Wisconsin and Indiana . She wrote: It is our belief that everyone should be treated equally under the law, and that includes rights we believe individuals should have related to marriage. … At Target, we have long offered comprehensive, competitive benefits to our LGBT team members and their families, often above what is legally required. We continue to do so today because we believe doing so is right ...

Target releases ad featuring same-sex ‘married’ couple

Image
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota , July 30, 2012 – Target is promoting their wedding registry with a focus on homosexual “marriage”. A new ad released last month depicts two men holding hands with the slogan, “Be yourself, together.” The retail giant has angered both pro-family and pro-homosexual activists as they have apparently flip-flopped in their approach to same-sex “marriage”. In 2010 Target faced some backlash from homosexual political groups after they gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota . More recently they have been criticized for their decision not to sell an album by Frank Ocean , who recently came out as homosexual. But last month the chain began selling same-sex “marriage” wedding cards, and they have supported pride parades in Minneapolis for a number of years. In May, Target sold gay pride t-shirts ad gave the proceeds to the Family Equality Council , a h...

Image
June 6, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Target is blocking e-mails from people opposed to its new campaign to support the homosexual agenda , according to the American Family Association (AFA). Target launched a campaign at the end of May to raise money for Family Equality Council ( FEC ), a group that is opposing legislation that would protect the traditional definition of marriage. The massive realtor is selling t-shirts through June, which is called National Pride Month, with gay pride flags and slogans on them. The shirts were designed by musician Gwen Stefani . Target says it will donate 100% of the proceeds from this campaign to Family Equality Council, up to $120,000. In response, AFA asked its supporters to send emails to the company’s chairman.

Target flip-flops, funds same-sex ‘marriage’ organization

Image
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA , May 23, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Two years after funding a pro-marriage politician, the Target Corporation has decided to fund an organization dedicated to same-sex “marriage.” Target has announced it will make a donation  worth up to $120,000  to the Family Equality Council (FEC), a homosexual political advocacy group. LGBT groups put Target in a bulls-eye after it donated money to a pro-marriage candidate in 2010. In the month of June, the chain will donate the proceeds from  online sales of a special collection of shirts, including one  designed by singer Gwen Stefani , to the organization.  The Minneapolis-based retailer faced backlash in 2010 after it gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate  for governor of Minnesota. He narrowly lost to pro-abortion Democrat Mark Dayton . At the time, the corporation resisted calls to make ...
