California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.

The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.

“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.

Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.

    Moron politics. They only get shit done that doesn’t really matter for good looks.

    Essentially I guess this was needed for redneck morons to know they can use the same bathroom as anyone else because they aren’t extra special…

      Ah, so more like two years to give rednecks conservatives a heads up that this is happening. That does make some sense.
