Gov. Charlie Baker, under pressure to take a position on the Legislature's transgender rights bill, "believes people should use the restroom facility they feel comfortable using," his office said yesterday, offering the governor's strongest statements on the issue so far.
Baker was responding to remarks by GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, who objected to a controversial North Carolina law, saying at an NBC Today Show town hall event, that North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now" and let people use the bathroom they prefer. The new law in North Carolina requires transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond to their gender at birth in public buildings.
Baker has already voiced opposition to the North Carolina law.
"Governor Baker is pleased Massachusetts public schools adhere to policies that accommodate transgender students' needs and believes employers should also accommodate transgender individuals' needs. The governor supports 2011 transgender protections and believes no one should be discriminated against based on their gender identity, and looks forward to reviewing a bill should the legislature act. Lastly, Governor Baker believes people should use the restroom facility they feel comfortable using," spokeswoman Lizzy Guyton said in a statement.

Baker hates Trump, Trump was just running at the mouth.
Local host Howie Carr is the host most in the tank for Trump.
Baker wants Cruz to push it to a third ballot for Jeb.
Women and girls should be able to use the restroom free of harassment.
No, governments should stop pretending things to be true that aren't true. Here are a few that have caused endless problems.
- Pretending that black people aren't people so that slavery could be justified.
- Pretending that Jewish people aren't people so that the holocaust could be justified.
- Pretending that preborn people aren't people so that abortion can be justified.
- Pretending that homosexuality is normal so that perversion can be justified.
i wonder if he’s be ok if sick twisted men just filed into his house every single day and use the bathroom while his wife and daughters are using the bathroom-
Don’t the politicians and activists fear “street justice” from friends and family of those harmed? The anarchy they wish to cause could come back on them 100 fold. What would be the appropriate blowback for a political candidate that supported this and even one person was harmed as a result?
It’s all looking bleak....there most likely will not be one major event, like you mentioned, but a cascading collapse that builds upon itself.
Why even bother having a Republican Party in my ridiculous state?
Lots of fags and other sexual deviants in politics these days.
That’s how I see it. A lot of folks seemed primed for some single cataclysmic incident with an immediate impact. I’m thinking more in the direction of a grinding decay that exponentially builds, with people acclimitizing and self-deluding themselves to it all along the way. But then being totally surprised when things truly start to spiral out of control.
transgenders have been using the restrooms of the gender they associate themselves with since the beginning of public restrooms with almost nobody ever knowing..just go in do your business and leave.. no problem,,, so now it’s a big issue?.. wonder why now?
I’d be a 1000 times more concerned about male pedophiles cruising public men’s rooms..
Hey bonehead! I'm 6' 2" and way 230lb. Does this mean that your "OK" with me following your wife or daughter into the ladies room?
When it might become necessary for the President of the United States to have a position on bathroom gender policy we are truly orbiting the proverbial drain.
I think in government schools they are. I know they can use the locker rooms.
Every public place in the world now needs three restrooms, Men, Women, and Goofball.....
Who is going to check to see whether someone is legitimately “transgendered”. I could walk into a women’s bathroom and claim to be a lesbian trapped in a male body. I could claim to be “gender neutral”.
This is insanity!
And Donald LGBTrump is all good with it.
Transgendered are mentally unstable. They should have their own bathrooms... But they won’t like it. They will say it is separate but equal.
No pleasing them
Here’s your choice:
XX = Female
XY = Male
Done and done.
