There is a petition online to boycott Target Stores because they do not want to join the haters. They posted this: Target announced Tuesday that its transgender employees and customers are “welcome” to use the bathroom or fitting room facility that bestaligns with their gender identity.

Apparently there are well over 500,000 that signed a petition to boycott Target over this stance. The following forty (40) corporations are based in North Carolina. Please sign this petition to boycott the hate of LGBT people, and the hate that is bred in backward-thinking states like North Carolina. The last one on the list, #40, owns 27 popular brands which are very recognizable. Pick just one on this list and vow to boycott them. Pick more if you wish. Boycott The Hate…
