"An explosion has occurred in a Target superstore in a women's bathroom – after controversy over the store's trans-friendly policy.
The anti-LGBT American Family Association has led a sustained high-profile boycott in recent weeks due to Target's trans-friendly bathroom policy.
Since the action began, a string of protesters have taken to disrupting Target stores directly – with one woman waved a Bible while warning customers "the devil will rape your children", a man speaking out against homosexual "abominations", and an incident that sparked an 'active shooter' lockdown."

they're making this argument about sales being affected by this , but on a financial website yesterday , it might of been CNN they said all retailers are have a bad time and are laying off and not hiring. Even Walmart is laying off and all these retailers sales are off 10-20 %.

Retail is a tough business. Constantly under assault by Amazon, that apparently wall street doesn't expect to make much of a profit, but continue to reward. Kudos to Target for defending human rights in spite of the crazy business environment.

And would you look at that.  Target just paid higher than expected quarterly dividends.  I hate when that happens.

When in doubt, ignore the moral judgments of anybody who engages in cannibalism.
