MINNEAPOLIS – Recent discussion in several states regarding so-called “bathroom bills” has Target Corp. affirming its position for employees and shoppers.

“We believe that everyone—every team member, every guest, and every community—deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally,” a Target post stated. “Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination. We welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.”

North Carolina recently became the first U.S. state to ban transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity in government buildings and schools. A “bathroom bill” was recently discussed in Minnesota, though Governor Mark Dayton has promised to veto such a bill in the outside chance one would make it to his desk.
