The issue is not even a Christian issue and the boycott is lame and makes Christians look like they always seem to in these situations. No thought, just follow somebody's boycott because it sounds good.

I'm thinking a whole lot of folks, women and children especially, will just have to hold it until they get home now.

If boycotts are lame why do these celebrities employ the tactic so often? There is one thing in the world that gets everyone's attention...money. Liberals threaten to remove financial support from anyone who refuses to support their militant agenda. Why is it wrong for conservatives to employ the same technique ?

I understand your point about John Q Christian who works for Target and has no dog in the fight besides receiving a wage. To offer counterpoint to that argument, I submit that these are not high wage jobs anyway and they could easily find another position in retail that more closely aligns with values that are consistent with common sense. This is not even a "religious " issue. It's common sense.

Don't misunderstand me. I am opposed to organized boycotts by Christian organizations. I'm not against individual boycotts as citizens.

In the same way that many can do more

For example in missions, it stands that an organized boycott can accomplish more than an individual one. I have rarely supported boycotts but this isn't so much about target as it is finally drawing a line in the sand and saying no more. It stops here. As North Carolinians I have encouraged my congregation to write or call their nc house reps and the Governor to tell them we support HB 2 and support them taking a stand and not bowing to blackmail and compromise. We are talking about .03 percent of the population for crying out loud. And not allowing men into women's bathrooms is a worthy cause to draw this line. And Target will not change but if millions of us do then we will have at least made our voices heard and as of 4 pm today more than 750000 people have signed the boycott petition. You are free to not do so but I have and I am encouraging everyone I know and have any influence with to do the same.

If it's only .03% of the population, it's not going to be a problem. Where do you think these people have been using the bathroom? Women's bathrooms have stalls and the children can't see anyway. Besides, men take their little girls into the men's room where there are urinals. I just saw this yesterday.

It's not a church issue.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Not tranny nor confused but He ( not she) made mankind in His image. Standing for righteousness is a church issue. And, [Pro 14:34] KJV Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

So, what does the Bible say about who uses what bathroom?

Not calling you names

But you're being obtuse.

Dear eddie

Apparently Franklin Graham agrees that Target has done a stupid thing and agrees that Christians should sign the afa boycott pledge as he has done and is encouraging others to do so and also to stop shopping at Target.

Dear? I don't think so.

I am not one of Franklin Graham's blind followers so, that doesn't impress me.

the .03 was the estimated transgender population in the USA however as we both know there are millions of pedophiles in America who would use the policies of Target and others to molest children in bathrooms including men's rooms which has always been a problem which is why we don't let our small grandchildren go to either bathroom alone.

Dear Eddie remains at odds with common sense but that is certainly his prerogative, dear or otherwise.

Also not sure of his response about a genuine man of God and a brother Baptist, Rev. Franklin Graham.

brotherjames, if you are trying to establish a dialogue, you won't do it by alternately calling someone obtuse, then 'dear.'
