Thursday, September 29, 2016
According to usanews.com, Gov. Jerry Brown of California sparked controversy once more when he signed a bill on today stating that all single-stall bathrooms in California must be gender neutral. The bill also requires that the signs outside of these restrooms must have gender neutral signs outside by March 1, 2017. The bill was sent to Brown in August just after president Obama required that students at public schools use bathrooms that "correlate with their gender identity". Supporters of the bill said that 19 states considered restricting access to bathrooms and other facilities based on the biological sex of a person. Randy Thomasson, the president of a conservative organization called savecalifornia.com, argued the bill saying, "What woman wants a man poking his head in the restroom door that somehow didn't shut or lock? How many women want to use a urine-stained toilet seat?" Opponents of the bill have also stated that they failed to get the required number of signatures to advance and proposed ballot that would have asked people to use the restrooms that correspond to their biological gender.
