Franklin Graham wants people to boycott Target but he is not demanding people boycott Trump for being with Porn Stars. Hypocrite Much Franklin Graham?
Klamath Falls, OR— Outraged shoppers threaten to boycott Target after a man exposes himself to a young girl in a store's bathroom.
Target is facing widespread outrage and calls for a boycott after a man exposed himself to a girl in the women's bathroom of one of its stores.
Evangelist Franklin Graham slammed Target for the incident in a Facebook post on Wednesday and urged his more than 6.7 million followers to boycott the company in response. In the post, Graham blamed the incident on the company's bathroom policy, which was changed two years ago to allow transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matched their gender identity.
Target says the man who exposed himself was drunk when he entered the women's bathroom at one of its Chicago stores and pushed into a stall that was being used by a young girl. Police are still searching for the man.
Target's change to its bathroom policy two years ago triggered an immediate backlash. Shopper traffic declined for the first time in years, and the company installed more single-occupancy bathrooms in all of its stores to give critics of the policy more privacy. The new bathrooms cost Target an estimated $20 million to install.
The resurrection of this issue could end up again costing Target lost sales if people take the call to boycott seriously.
This is so stupid the man was drunk and should not have done what he did, no doubt. Even I have accidentally gone into a woman's restroom who hasn't? Twice in my life at a movie theatre. But to use this as an excuse to boycott Target is ridiculous to fulfill your own personal religious political agenda. It is Nonsense.
Maybe there should be a boycott of movie theaters now because I went into a woman's restroom by accident twice and at two different times years apart and I was not drunk. Where is the boycott of TRump for having sex with porn stars by Evangelist Franklin Graham? Hypocrite much Evangelist Franklin Graham? And the rest of you hypocrites boycotting Target.
After enacting the new policy allowing people to enter their preferred restroom no matter their biological sex, Target suffered a $10 billion loss in value, a full 20% drop, which critics connected to the new policy, while defenders claimed was a result of other factors. As the protests against the store from pro-family groups escalated, Target's CEO Brian Cornell not only doubled-down on the controversial policy but went as far as to compare those opposed to it as being akin to racists who opposed the outlet when they featured black models in their advertisement.
We’ve had a long history embracing diversity and inclusion," said Cornell. "A couple weeks ago, one of our team members sent me a note reminding me that if we went back to the mid-60s, our company was one of the very first to use African-American models in their advertising, and back then, it wasn’t well received."
