In response to Target's transgender-inclusive policy, fundamentalist family group said it sent men into women's restrooms

A fundamentalist Christian organization opposed to Target's transgender-inclusive policy said it has sent men into the retail giant's women's restrooms.

The group, American Family Association, launched a petition in April that asks supporters to boycott Target stores. More than 1.17 million people had signed the petition as of Wednesday morning.

The organization is speaking out against a bathroom policy Target made public last month, which encourages transgender people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

"We believe that everyone -- every team member, every guest, and every community -- deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally," a statement on Target's website read. "Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination."

In its petition, American Family Association says that the policy "poses a danger to wives and daughters."

Sandy Rios, director of government affairs for the American Family Association, said the group has sent men to Target to see if they could gain entry into women's bathrooms. The gender identity of these men was not made clear in the Rios interview, which broadcast on conservative radio show "Breitbart News Daily."

"I think there's no question that when you say that there are no barriers in the bathroom and that if men or women feel like they are men or women, the [opposite] of however they are equipped, and you have no restrictions, the net effect will be that people will not be stopped," Rios said in the interview. "We've already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier."

According to the Washington Post, there's no proof that the organization has carried out such acts. But men who oppose the policy have posted videos on YouTube of their attempts to get into women's restroom.
