Target CEO Brian Cornell says the company isn’t backing down from its stance on transgender bathrooms, despite a widespread backlash.
More than 1.2 million people have signed a pledge to boycott Target after it announced last month that it would welcome transgender customers to use any bathroom or fitting room that matches their gender identity.
The backers of the pledge — including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — claim that the policy poses a “danger to wives and daughters” and is “exactly how sexual predators get access to their victims.”
In an interview on CNBC on Wednesday, Cornell said he continues to believe that Target made the right decision in supporting transgender rights.
“We took a stance and we are going to continue to embrace our belief of diversity and inclusion,” Cornell said.
He reassured customers who are concerned about their safety, saying, “we are also going to make sure our commitment to safety is unwavering.”
Cornell likened the public backlash against Target to when the retailer started used African American models in advertising in the mid 1960s.
“Back then it wasn’t well received, but sitting here today we know we made the right decision,” Cornell said.
Cornell also noted that a majority of Target’s stores already have a family restroom and “we are committed over the next few months to make sure every one of our stores has that option because we want all our guests to be welcomed in our stores.”

“Were gonna molest children in our restrooms, Obama is 100% behind our “kiddie-diddling” restroom policy, so there”, said closet queer and CEO of Target, Brian Cornell (Cornhole).
All I can say is I’ve spent my last dime at Target. F’ ’em!!!!!
Yup, if Target wants be politically correct and focus on social engineering the sexuality of our children, instead of concentrating on their corporate bottom line for their shareholders, then I assume their shareholders have the same mentality of pedophilia, so, yes, f’ck em forever, even if they reverse this agenda, never another dollar…and screw this idea of a “either/or” bathrooms for all these degenerates, who are also a minority of people compared to the larger base of the public who are the customers of these businesses….just vial….there will be a day of accountability for all these minions who promote all this crap….!!!
“Cornell likened the public backlash against Target to when the retailer started used African American models in advertising in the mid 1960s.”
Don’t you dare try to mix apples with oranges! African American models do not offend us. Your perverse political pandering is what I find offensive. Between this transgender crap, and your policy of not wanting concealed carry customers in your stores, go shit in your hat guy.
I didn’t sign the petition. But I’ll never set a foot in Target again. CEO is stupid to think only those who signed will not give Target money.
Im with you on that,, I dont sign petitions .. I just vote with my dollars
and this schmuck aint heard the last of this .. how much you want to bet he will soon feel it in his paycheck
I have a Target store probably 6 miles from my home .. the parking lot looks like a ghost town
and im sure the type that go in there arnt the type i would want to be around shopping anyways .. really no loss to me as I never really cared for that store to begin with , probably in the last 15 or more years the wife has maybe spent 10$ in there ..after this, she said wont get a dime out of her or my Daughter , they are taking this type of policy very personal
Target, choosing to go gay, will eventually change their name and market strategy to “Dildos “R” Us!”
“We took a stance and we are going to continue to embrace our belief of diversity and inclusion,” Cornell said.
Read: “We are so politically correct that even though our company will likely go bankrupt over this, we MUST tow the Party line”.
Good riddance to bad rubbish… I haven’t shopped at Target for years, and have no intention of ever doing so in the future. Dumbasses.
He probably thinks that when he goes bankrupt the taxpayers will bail him out…really folks we really only have one surefire way to end this kind of nonsense and perversion: stop paying taxes! Force employers to stop taking payroll taxes out (and this can be done by forming your own sole proprietorship and working off the books–screw the 1099 MISC!) If enough people stop working for employers that deduct payroll taxes, and if enough independent contractors stop doing w-4s and work off the books as well, then the Fed runs out of money…no debt currency, no debt. Fed dies, and Rothschilds go straight to the Lake of Fire where they belong.
Zacly
Amen!
Unity!!!!!
What this fing idiot of a CEO is not aware of is that 90% of unsatisfied customers don’t make complaints, they simply jump ship. The people signing the petition should be seen as a Godzilla sized canary in the coal mine. Either the CEO goes or Target goes. They should send that idiot packing back to business school.
“…conscience seared with a hot iron.” Uh-huh.
In this economy Target can not survive long if the people stand. I just saw that the stocks on the most well known stores have plumeted ie: Macy’s. If they think they can weather this, they are mistaken. I give them a year or less.
