Gov. Jerry Brown waded further into the national debate over transgender rights Thursday as he signed a bill requiring that all single-stall toilets in California be designated as gender neutral.
The measure requires that businesses and governments post non-gender-specific signs on single-occupant restrooms by March 1, 2017.
Democratic Assemblyman Phil Ting of San Francisco said his legislation would establish the nation’s most inclusive restroom-access law and “chart a new course of equality for the nation.”
“This simple concept is oddly cutting-edge when compared with the discrimination being enacted in other states,” Ting said earlier, while urging the Democratic governor to sign the bill. …

Majority of Business don’t have non-identity bathroom.
Why is it that the government can so easily trample on the rights of straight people? Especially Christians?
I never understood why identical single occupant bathrooms have to be designated male or female. They aren’t any different looking than bathrooms in private homes. Committed Neal bathrooms with side by side toilets, especially those with no stalls or privacy, are a different story.
Jerry Brown is a moron in the truest form.
Surprisingly, since I can’t stand Moonbeam, I’m not really troubled by this. I think it only makes sense that single-stall bathrooms be available to anyone. Since you are in there alone, it doesn’t matter. Much better solution than trying to force multi-person bathrooms to be ‘inclusive’.
Other than having to put a silly sign on the door I don’t see anything wrong with this. Who wouldn’t rather have a single-user bathroom with privacy and a door that locks? Communal bathrooms contain a vast amount of wasted space and offer no advantage that I can see, we just are used to them. Maintaining a common bathroom either means they close it or you have to work around wet floors, etc. Single bathrooms can be cleaned without affecting the others.
All in all this seems like the perfect solution. Good for everyone and shuts the queers up.
Users had better remember to lock the doors if they don't want anyone of the opposite sex (I don't use the unnecessary PC term gender) to walk in on them.
What is wrong with it is having government decide what we can do or not do when it is not within the role of government. Another expansion of power for people unfit to govern.
Why is less than 1% of the population forcing immoral rules? Rhetorical question but still would like a dagumed answer.
Jerry Brown is a Devil. When evil things happen, God will answer and you won’t like it.
gay people are about, what? 2 percent of the population
and trans people are about 1/100th of that
you’d think the USA was overrun with trannies the way the rulers are acting
next we’ll have ‘furry’ bathrooms
cutting edge nanny state BS & rejection of laws of nature
The tyrants of Sacramento strike again. You subjects need them to tell you how to live properly. It’s so good we have them.
It’s the last days. Of course, I don’t know how many are left but I believe we are rounding the corner.
Not a big deal but women get the dirty end of the stick on this one.
Women do not like to use the Men’s room even single stall because some guys do not lift the toilet seat when they pee.
I wonder which bathroom Moonbeam uses, if any.
Many large schools and buildings already have single, stand alone toilet facilities so this law is just catching up to something that has been around for decades.
We should name the bill after the State Rep. Phil Ting. It will be known as the “Ting-le Bill”.
Men’s bathrooms don’t have urinals?
This begs a question: has there ever, in the history of the United States, been a bit of PC silliness that was NOT embraced by California?
I cant. I just cannot wrap my little brain around the fact that public bathrooms have become some kind of “problem” hot topic, crusade whatever. Aside from a decided but relatively trivial lack of cleanliness in some of these facilities I don’t understand what folks would take issue with. I mean, damn, it’s a toilet. It’s not a social gathering place. We relieve ourselves when duty calls and then we forget about it. Its not a mind boggling feat. It doesn’t require over-thinking. It should NOT be such a damn issue. It’s retarded.
