In a recent viral video, a mother of twelve, Jessica Thompson, was seen marching through a Target store, brandishing her Bible and loudly voicing her discontent regarding the store’s bathroom policy. Imagine finally having a moment of peace to shop solo, only to be met with such a scene. It’s frustrating, to say the least.
Jessica’s outburst was filled with harsh words directed at families, mothers, and children, raising the question: when will America wake up and advocate for the right values? Her claims included alarming rhetoric that suggested a moral crisis was afoot, asserting that society needed to protect children from perceived dangers.
As a healthcare professional, I find it troubling when individuals equate love and acceptance with something sinister. It’s ironic that those who scream the loudest about protecting their values often embody the hatred they claim to oppose. In a previous piece, one of my colleagues discussed the backlash surrounding Target’s bathroom policy, which continues to provoke intense emotions, including hate mail directed at those supporting equality.
It’s absurd to think that advocating for inclusivity is seen as un-American. The notion that those opposing hateful legislation, like the one passed in North Carolina, are the ones in the wrong is a narrative that needs to change. We shouldn’t allow ignorance to define what it means to be American. We, the advocates of inclusion and equality, also have a voice that deserves recognition.
Jessica’s declaration—“I am a mother of twelve and disgusted by this wicked practice… Mothers, get your children out of this store!”—was met with indifference by many shoppers. Most were simply trying to enjoy their shopping experience, purchasing everything from athleisure wear to snacks without fear, because they understand that love and acceptance are not threats.

In summary, while Jessica’s protest may have drawn attention, it also highlights the importance of advocating for values that support love and inclusivity, rather than hate and division. The conversation surrounding these issues is crucial, especially for families navigating modern societal challenges.
