“They specifically left gays, lesbians and the transgender community out of the anti-discrimination policy. They want to make it plain that they think that kind of discrimination is O.K.”
If you’ve ever stood in line for a public restroom in a crowded coffee shop, you know what it’s like to wait. But imagine if at the end of that wait someone stopped you from using the bathroom. Not because it was occupied or broken, but because of who you are.
NYC Guarantees the Right to Enter a Bathroom Matching One’s Gender Identity
Posted by ADA Sign Depot on Mar 09, 2016
New Yorkers are now guaranteed the right to visit the restroom that matches their gender identity in all city buildings, after Mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order Monday. The new rule, which is now in effect, covers all bathrooms or locker rooms in city-government buildings, parks, and some museums.
All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities by signage that complies with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.
