I don't really need anything from Target at the moment, but tomorrow I'll be going shopping at Target anyway and I will spend some money. And though the few dollars I spend at Target may not be commensurate with the amount the almost one million good Christians who signed a pledge with The American Family Association to boycott Target have vowed not to spend since Target took a stand for transgender rest room rights, well, one does what one can to fight hatred and injustice, even if only a few dollars at a time. After my shopping trip to Target ...still I will make the sacrifice and eat one in support of Starbucks, another business whose official policy is that transgender customers and workers may use the store restroom of their gender identity. Oh well. Anyway, tomorrow while I'm shopping at Target, who knows?, I may have to share the restroom with a transgender woman. But that's okay, I don't mind. At least I won't have to share my space with any bigots. Anybody want to come shopping with me? ;) References:

Patty, it wasn't the "good Christians" making an issue out of bathrooms. It was the deluded, selfish, mentally unbalanced folks who make the preposterous claim that they can be "trapped" in the wrong body. They're the ones making all this an issue. They defy "common sense".

I shopped at a very busy Target today! And, as long as we're talking retail: I never shop at Hobby Lobby.
