Man records himself asking to use Target women’s bathroom
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) – A St. Petersburg man who videotaped himself going into a local Target said he was just trying to clarify the company’s bathroom policy.
That video has since gone viral. It was recorded on the heels of Target’s recent announcement about its policy.
“(We) welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity … Everyone deserves to feel like they belong,” Target said.
Both the local video and Target’s policy have come under fire.
More than 800,000 people have signed a petition from the American Family Association saying they will boycott the big-box chain because of the policy.
Andy Park says he went to the St. Petersburg store on Park Street Friday. Park told News Channel 8 he was “dressed like a man” and originally thought the policy was a hoax.
He showed News Channel 8 the video he says he took going into the store and talking with a manager.
