Target has announced to the world that it is perfectly fine with them for men to follow little girls into their bathrooms, for whatever reasons. Anyone with an ounce of common sense should be able to see this policy is a train wreck waiting to happen. Sadly, it will be at the expense of some innocent kid, and that is just wrong.<br /><br />It isn't just the LGBT activists. The BLM activists also use tactics that solve nothing, but serve to cause as much hate and discontent is possible. As do the atheist groups who threaten to sue over nativity displays at Christmas. None of these people are doing anything to further their causes. They are just causing the gap between two points of view to become wider.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-73459261493954236472016-04-25T10:14:50.734-05:002016-04-25T10:14:50.734-05:00Your right about it nor being about restrooms.

There activism makes a quiet non issue of privacy become a huge nasty event and I think it makes them a target of more discrimination. The decent people will not be a problem but there are more people that take advantage all the time.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-56702193186957258712016-04-21T19:12:28.529-05:002016-04-21T19:12:28.529-05:00Thank you, Fiona...I believe Target's announce...Thank you, Fiona...I believe Target's announcement of this policy was made just this week. I think people are afraid to stand up for what is right because these days to speak up is to risk being sued, fired from a job or possibly arrested for "hate speech." <br /><br />It really isn't about restrooms. It is about forcing the rest of us to accept and sanction a lifestyle that goes against our beliefs. Normally I really don't care what people do in private, but when a company like Target opens it's ladies rooms to every shade of pervert and puts girls at risk, that's where I have to draw my line in the sand. I love my grands way too much to stay silent.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-82555456328660006192016-04-21T18:28:29.750-05:002016-04-21T18:28:29.750-05:00Well said.

I do wonder why people are so afraid to stand up and say what should be said. IF LGBT people do not want to shop at stores that have regular bathrooms let them make that decision. It is so completely crazy!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-51016740156120831602016-04-21T13:57:59.879-05:002016-04-21T13:57:59.879-05:00David...Woods hit that nail directly on the head! ...David...Woods hit that nail directly on the head! But it is not just the men in the ladies room. What do you suppose is going to happen when some raging feminist decides she is feeling like a man today, walks into the men's room and you glance at her. Do the words "sexual harassment lawsuit" ring a bell? It is just plain insane.<br /><br />You think Obama was bad? Son, you ain't seen nothing yet, should Hillary be crowned Queen of the United States.

Oh, wait, we don't choose, all of the wall street cronies have already paid her way to be our next President. <br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569999115515790145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-11337720260024525822016-04-21T10:37:35.838-05:002016-04-21T10:37:35.838-05:00Pumice...I was not aware of the Salvation Army ban...Pumice...I was not aware of the Salvation Army ban. I had seen a couple of news reports about their gender neutral policy concerning toys, as in eliminating gender specific toys to make them "all inclusive," which I thought was a bit silly. So this restroom thing came as no great shock. Thing is, allowing anyone and everyone in the bathroom with my granddaughters just isn't going to fly. Now it is personal.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-4192780447904365432016-04-21T09:22:43.525-05:002016-04-21T09:22:43.525-05:00I quit going to Target when they banned the Salvat...I quit going to Target when they banned the Salvation Army from collecting at Christmas.

There may be those who are genuinely going through an identity crises and I feel bad for those folks, but there are also many who consider the open bathroom policy to be an engraved invitation to indulge in their perversions. Somehow I just can't put the desires of an anatomically correct man to use the ladies restroom over the safety of my granddaughters. And I can't support anyone who does.<br /><br />I wish I could take credit for the line about the garage and the car, but I can't. I had read something similar somewhere and thought it made sense. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-11652860777905866362016-04-20T14:47:03.970-05:002016-04-20T14:47:03.970-05:00Vicki - bravo! i fully agree that unless a store c...Vicki - bravo! i fully agree that unless a store can guarantee - and i mean GUARANTEE - that young girls and boys will be safe from predators - then don't want anything to do with that store.<br /><br />kudos for such a well-written and thoughtful letter. however, my husband and i will be giggling for days about "than if a person stands in a garage and proclaims himself to be a car!" that's a pretty funny analogy. the sad fact is that it is the truth!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-53208877099095986372016-04-20T09:45:24.788-05:002016-04-20T09:45:24.788-05:00Thanks, Jim...I don't give a rodent's behi...Thanks, Jim...I don't give a rodent's behind what other people do as long as it doesn't hurt my family. But this policy of Target has the potential to harm them. How on earth can anyone tell whether the person entering the bathroom or fitting area of a store is genuine in their beliefs or if they are just trolling for kids. I just can't contribute to a business that puts the welfare of one group over that of my family. I'm sort of ornery that way. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-57758881760216063012016-04-20T09:21:55.004-05:002016-04-20T09:21:55.004-05:00Bravo, bravo, bravo!!

I also could care less what a person does in their personal lives, but do not feel it is right to force their beliefs down my throat. It is always amazing to me how my beliefs are considered wrong, but they are never wrong. I gave up shopping at Target over 20 years ago for a different reason, but I would surely do so now also.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231408607303510336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-57000296160910848612016-04-20T09:17:33.923-05:002016-04-20T09:17:33.923-05:00Thank you, Gorges.Thank you, Gorges.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-45894945763731072902016-04-20T09:10:21.558-05:002016-04-20T09:10:21.558-05:00Well done!Well done!Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-54084219024710986812016-04-20T08:02:02.511-05:002016-04-20T08:02:02.511-05:00Chickenmom...Thanks.

I guess I am just so very tired of being shoved into the "racist" class of people because I fail to jump on the bandwagons that go against my core beliefs. I will bet the lawsuits will come quickly when kids are molested in store bathrooms due to this policy. And nobody can convince me that won't happen. Shoot...way back in high school I knew hormonal teenage boys who would have happily worn dresses and heels in order to get a glimpse of a half naked teenage girl. This will not end well.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-54171712285190574272016-04-20T07:25:46.068-05:002016-04-20T07:25:46.068-05:00Bravo, Vicky!!!
