"The right-wing anti-gay hate group Faith2Action scheduled a nationwide protest of Target this weekend at store locations across the U.S. Janet Porter, the president of Faith2Action, claimed that the goal of the June 4 event, known as "Don't Target Our Daughters Day," was to "bankrupt the bullies at Target.""

People like them tend to think that they are the majority, and this underwhelming response to their bigoted shenanigans proves (once again) that their small minded philosophy is yesterday's news.

I live in a Southern Baptist town with a Target and absolutely nothing has happened here to my knowledge.

"We're having a big anti-Target protest!" .......... <crickets>

I'm hopeful we are seeing the last throes of this petty nonsense. Personal beliefs should remain personal.

From the article,

"One protester in Ontario held a sign that read "Two Sexes, Two Genders, Male and Female, Genesis 1:21."

This is Genesis 1:21, And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

I guess for that protestor the Bible is good enough to quote but not good enough to actually read.

Some of the worst are those who do not study their own doctrine but take it spoon fed from the worst bigots, their leaders. It's all about power and has nothing to do with real faith.

[Deborah]

Very few have actually read it cover to cover.  Of those that do, many have their eyes opened and then become atheists.

Go figure. Spending an afternoon being a bigot at your local retailer does not excite a lot of people. When the light of day is shined on these people, you really find out how powerless their mode of thinking is.

With any luck your politicians will see this and realise anti-trans it's not a safe position to support.

My faith in human nature has increased today. pun intended.
