Raw Story recaps the first incident: A mother who was apparently angered over Target’s vow to allow transgender customers to use bathrooms and fitting rooms that correspond to their gender identity went marching through a store while waving a Bible. A video of the woman’s loud protest was posted to YouTube. The woman was not named but appears to have …

In so many words, of course. Via press release: “American Family Association is appreciative that Target representatives were willing to accept the signatures of more than one million Americans and meet with us about our deep distress over Target’s unsafe bathroom policy, which permits anyone who identifies with another gender to enter the restroom or fitting room of the opposite …

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports: Target Corp. will stick with its policy of allowing transgender customers to choose the bathroom they wish to use, chief executive Brian Cornell said this morning. He added the company is adding more family restrooms in its stores, an option for people who worry about the mixing of sexes in bathrooms. Cornell made the remarks during …

Hate group leader, failed social media entrepreneur, and failed politician Janet Porter has announced Target protests to take place nationwide on Saturday, June 4th. sPorter is calling her crusade “Don’t Target Our Daughters Day.” The event is scheduled for “just days before their shareholder meeting.” For haters that cannot protest in person, Porter, shockingly, will accept financial donations instead. It’s …

The American Family Association has denied reports from the “lying liberal media” that they are sending protesters into Target stores to “test” the retailer’s pro-trans restroom policy, but the protests are continuing. Watch below as street preachers invade several Target locations to scream insults and damnation at startled shoppers and staffers.

American Family Association spokes-hater Sandy Rios appeared on Breitbart’s SiriusXM channel today to speak in her typically reasonable way about Target. Some quotes: “We have a push from the left to deconstruct everything that’s called normal. And that includes sexuality. It’s part of the Marxist theory to deconstruct the family and to recreate new systems. And so, I’m not saying …

According to a tweet issued today by Fox Business, Target officials have agreed to meet with the American Family Association, the anti-LGBT hate group behind the boycott. Fox attributes that news to notorious liar Todd Starnes and no independent confirmation of this meeting can be found at this writing. Last week a Target spokesperson declared that the company was “standing …

Todd Starnes writes at Fox News: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also has grave concerns – and he expressed them in a letter to Target’s chief executive officer. “It is possible that allowing men in women’s restrooms could lead to criminal and otherwise unwanted activity,” Paxton wrote in the letter obtained exclusively by Fox News. The attorney general is asking …

Yesterday the AFA issued a press release which claims that despite what you’re reading in the “lying liberal media” – they are not sending men into Target’s ladies rooms to “test” to company’s pro-trans policy. Damn those liars for quoting AFA radio host Sandy Rios: “We’ve already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into …

Via press release: After more than 1.1 million people pledged to boycott Target, celebrities and corporations alike are having second thoughts about crossing Americans on such a consensus issue. The decision by the retail giant is not only sparking massive backlash, but it’s helping the country get a real picture of the controversy in North Carolina. It’s also shown liberals …

“Target must be destroyed, not just boycotted and humbled into submission regarding their love affair with the LGBT crowd. I support the present boycott of Target; however, it is not a winning strategy. If we hold to the boycott and it grows with intensity until Target’s parking lot is almost empty then Target’s CEO will be forced to back down, …

Props to Alan Colmes! Brian Tashman reports at Right Wing Watch: Last month, Liberty Counsel President Anita Staver said that she plans on “taking a Glock .45 to the ladies room” after Target announced a new policy prohibiting discrimination against transgender customers. Liberty Counsel is a notorious anti-LGBT group that has taken credit for shaping discriminatory laws such as North …

Back in February, I launched a twice-monthly column for the website of Britain’s Pride Life magazine, a quarterly LGBT rights and lifestyle magazine. Today’s sixth installment is titled Transgender Rights Take Center Stage In US Presidential Race. Hit the link for my status report on Trump, Cruz, Target, and North Carolina. DISCLOSURE: Pride Life is owned by the US company …

Miranda Blue reports at Right Wing Watch: It turns out that anti-LGBT activists are right that men are taking advantage of a transgender-inclusive policy at Target to go into women’s restrooms — and those men are anti-LGBT activists. In an interview this morning with “Breitbart News Daily,” the American Family Association’s director of governmental affairs, Sandy Rios, said that activists …

MoveOn has launched a #StandWithTarget petition to counter the petition authored earlier this week by the AFA. From the MoveOn petition: “I pledge to support Target and any other business that stands up for transgender rights and accommodates transgender people in their restroom use.” Sign at this link. They’ve gotten 26K signatures already.

Breitbart is thrilled: More than 1,000,000 people have signed the boycott pledge against Target, following the secretive decision by executives to open all of their stores’ bathrooms and changing rooms to people of both sexes. Late Thursday night, roughly 75 people a minute were adding their name to the petition as it clicked over 1 million, just after 10:30 pm …

Miranda Blue reports at Right Wing Watch: Far-right radio host Rick Wiles devoted the first half of his “Trunews” program on Monday to railing against Target’s policy of allowing transgender people to use the restroom that matches their gender identity, warning that the retail chain’s bathroom policy has helped turn America into Sodom and Gomorrah, which God will now destroy …

YouTube’s viral Liberal Redneck (a real-life comedian named Trae Crowder) is back with his take on the American Family Association’s boycott of Target. As like last time, I won’t give away the best lines with a recap. Just watch below.
