Target says women’s bathrooms, dressing rooms open for men, too

By Leonardo Blair, Christian Post

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Christian Post) — Minnesota-based retail giant Target announced Tuesday that transgender people are free to use the bathrooms and fitting rooms in their stores that match the gender they identify with, not their sex.

“We believe that everyone — every team member, every guest, and every community — deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally. Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination,” Target argued in a statement posted on the company’s corporate website.

“In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways.
