Target: Workers & Customers Can Use Bathroom Corresponding to Gender Identity

HeadlineApr 28, 2016

The retail giant Target has announced employees and customers can use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. This comes as a Missouri House committee has voted down an anti-LGBT bill that would have led to a ballot measure proposing to allow businesses, people and organizations to use their religious beliefs as a legal excuse to discriminate against LGBT people. Meanwhile, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam has signed a new law that allows mental health counselors to refuse service to LGBT patients on religious grounds.
