American Family Association says It’s Testing Target’s Bathroom PolicyTarget's new restroom policy of allowing transgender people to use the bathroom that they identify themselves with, is sending waves across the country. The reaction is mixed. American Family Association an anti-LGBT group said it is "testing" Target's bathroom policy.

Earlier the AFA organized a boycott of the retail chain that allows transgender customers and employees to use the bathroom which matches their gender identity.

The policy also marks a stark contrast to North Carolina's anti-LGBT law that prohibits transgender people from using facilities which they identify themselves with. However, the law is applicable to government buildings only and not the companies in the private sector.

The group opposing Target's policy says, it gives opportunity to sexual predators to enter the bathrooms and says that it has been joined by more than 1 million people for its boycott agenda.

Director of governmental affairs of the AFA, Sandy Rios, disclosed on a Monday radio interview, the agenda of her group.

She said, "We've already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier."  She added, "The chief concern, even more than just, I think, trauma, certainly for little girls of having men dressed like women coming in their bathrooms."
