The American Family Association called Target’s decision to add single-stall bathrooms to its stores “a $20 million public relations diversionary tactic to make shoppers believe the company had changed
its bathroom policy.”
“Don’t fall for it,” AFA President Tim Wildmon said in a statement on Tuesday. “Target is using deceptive language to make Americans think
it has their best interests at heart. But Target has not changed this dangerous policy. Adding more bathrooms doesn’t fix the issue. Not
allowing men in women’s facilities is the only solution.”
Target announced in August that it would spend $20 million adding single-stall bathrooms to its stores. It already has single-stall
bathrooms at 1,400 of its 1,800 stores, Target spokesperson Katie
Boylan said, according to the USA Today.
That will not, however, change the store’s transgender bathroom
policy, which allows people to “use the bathroom and fitting room
that corresponds with their gender identity,” the USA Today
reported.
“Target has publicized its intent to install single-occupancy, unisex bathrooms – and that is fine. In fact, our initial announcement of
the boycott suggested such additions as a way to help the retailer’s transgender customers. Moreover, we do not feel that the transgender community poses a threat to other shoppers,” Wilmon said in a letter
last week to Target CEO Brian Cornell.
“However, our major concern was that Target’s policy would grant
voyeurs and sexual predators easier access to their victims by
allowing men in women’s restrooms and changing areas, which puts
women and girls in danger,” Wilmon said in the Aug. 22 letter.
“Unisex bathrooms are fine, but our request has always been that
Target maintain the gender-specific bathrooms as well – if the
company is interested in guaranteeing the safety and privacy of women
and girls who patronize the retailer’s stores,” he added.
“AFA’s boycott will remain in place until Target agrees that
protecting the safety and privacy of women and children is of
paramount concern. To demonstrate that commitment, we ask that you
reverse your current bathroom and fitting room policy,” Wildmon
concluded.
“We still believe Target doesn’t value the safety of families because they’ve refused to reverse this dangerous policy,” Wildmon said in a statement. “Because Target refuses to address our concerns, the
boycott will remain. AFA will continue to direct our supporters away
from Target and, as a result, they will shop at other retailers.
“After seeing Target’s latest earnings report, the retailer can’t afford to have millions of families shopping with competitors. The
privacy and protection of women and children is important, and that
is why we will continue to stand against Target for its reckless
policy,” Wildmon said.
