Title: Let's Support Target's Support of Us!
Post by: Dee Marshall on April 29, 2016, 11:07:41 AM
Heres the link to the petition I created. Companies need to know they'll gain or keep customers when other customers threaten to walk.

I sent a thank-you email to Mr. Cornell right after Target announced this policy. He actually answered it!  Briefly, but it was definitely a personal response. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least -- class act for a major CEO.  Of course, they are based in MN.

As my comment with the petition says, I don't live anywhere near America and as such have never even seen a Target store. I still signed it, solely because I approve of them making trans people's lives a slight bit more liveable.

I have signed this!

Target is an amazing company and stands for what is right, even amidst all the turmoil others seem to have.

I wouldn't mind working with them again. At the end of June I am thinking of getting out of the hellhole of this other company, and get back with them.

They're on my list of corporations not to steal from  >:-)

Ever since Target came out in support of us I switched over to buying what I can from them and then making a second trip elsewhere. I don't like big business, but I feel that if they lost around a million customers to state a political position that is pro trans, and maintained that position while having religious nutcases marauding around their store then me chucking a few bucks here and there at them might not be so bad.

My local Target is a little out of my way and one of their major competitors is a lot closer to me but ever since they stood with us i've been specifically going to shop at Target. The parking lot and the store is just as crammed as it ever was so i'm thinking that the boycott is having very little effect on them.

I did sign the petition. It needs 89 more signatures people!

When I was just starting to transition I worked at Target and at least at my east coast store they were very supportive and no one made any nasty comments. I credit Targets inclusive culture for steering me away from suicidial thoughts and bringing me to the point where I am today as a reasonably productive member of society. I might work for one of targets competitors these days but I will always have a warm place in my heart for target.

If they sold quality products to make it worth the hour long drive to get there, it would be wonderful.
