Target CEO Brian Cornell defended the company's transgender bathroom policy decision to shareholders while also denying that the $10 billion in losses suffered since had anything to do with the controversial decision, Breitbart reported.
The new policy, instituted seven weeks ago, allows transgender men and women to use the bathrooms and changing rooms of the gender they identify with at all Target stores.
That decision has been the impetus behind a boycott of Target by about 1 million Americans.
"We're a company that believes strongly in diversity and inclusion," LifeSiteNews quoted Cornell at Wednesday's shareholder meeting in Costa Mesa, Calif. "We're a company that is very guest-centered."
Justin Danhof, director of the National Center Free Enterprise Project, attended the meeting and has been a vocal critic of the retailer's decision to open up bathrooms.
"Target's shareholder meeting was appalling from beginning to end," Danhof said. "Liberal corporate leaders such as Cornell throw around the words 'diversity' and 'inclusion' so much they are starting to lose their meaning."

Thought this was America, where you can stand up for what you believe in?
ReplyDeleteIf this CEO wants to support this decision fine. But also consumers can buy with their conscience as well. Personally, I don't want to be in the bathroom with transgender ppl. That's my right!
DeleteTarget can do whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteSo can I.
I'm going somewhere else.
Your a company that will soon be out of business with the molestation lawsuits you are about to receive.
ReplyDeleteAnd I stand by my decision to boycott them completely!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI choose not to accept their bs political correctness!
Stupid he has to all the stock holders are watching. Should have found some middle ground saved a ton of money. Maybe he sits down to urinate. I will shop elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI don't shop at Target.
ReplyDeleteI haven't shopped in a Target store since their sick decision was made and I refuse to go back in that hell hole.

He doesn't have to. No one forced him to and he is ignoring the will of the people.

ReplyDelete1 year from now doubt there will be any Targets, more jobs will be lost in every state. Pride goeth before the fall.
ReplyDeleteBut at least 3:34pm...in the mean time PERVERTS RULE DUDE!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up people it's working
ReplyDeleteTARGET, where perverts are welcome
ReplyDeleteYup! Target has the right to do that, and we, the People have the right to shop elsewhere!
ReplyDeleteRotsa Ruck, Target! Looks like everything's going your way!
Need to also boycott the main stream media and magazines.
ReplyDeleteKeep the boycott up. Shove it right back at Target until the sorry excuse shuts it's last door down or they do right by the public and stop and publicly apologize profusely for this nonsense. Show Target the consumers are the BOSS and consumers don't need Target but Target needs them.
