West Hollywood is the first city in California to adopt a policy of “gender neutral” public restrooms, giving businesses 60 days to change the little male and female stick figure signs on bathroom doors.
As the Los Angeles Times reports, businesses must comply with a new city law prohibiting gender identifications.
“City leaders said that the old school “men” and “women” restrooms were outdated and puts transgender people in the difficult position of having to “out” themselves simply by picking a door.”
“I know for a number of transgender people that having to choose whether to go into the male or female restroom is not as easy as it can be for non-transgender people,” said West Hollywood Councilwoman Abbe Land, who introduced the motion, which passed unanimously last year. “It’s all about access and equality.”
“Land said her council office is working to inform other cities about the law in the hope they will adopt it, but she expected it would face longer odds in areas with smaller, less visible LGBT populations.”
Well, frankly I’m not sure how LGBT populations can get less visible.
According to a study by the leading LGBT demographer at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law’s Williams Institute, only 0.3 percent of U.S. adults are actually transgender. How can you get less visible than that? Zero percent?

Perhaps businesses should post signs stating: “For the comfort of the vast majority of our patrons, use of our restrooms is not based on gender, but on primary sexual characteristics, please choose the appropriate restroom on this basis.”
If I owned a business, I’d put a sign up that says ‘Bathroom with Urinal’ and ‘Bathroom Without Urinal.’
And if I was a lawyer, I’d be finding a blind person to file an ADA lawsuit as I’m sure that these new city mandated bathroom signs aren’t ADA compatible.
I’d opt for going out back and p*ssing behind a dumpster - safer that way
Public bathrooms are akin to chapels in gay culture.
This is satire, right? Please tell me it’s satire.
If I’m ever there, I’ll just take a dump on the street like everyone else does there.
LOL.
How the Hell does JimRob and the FR staff live in that godforsaken state.
I suppose it is out of the question to add a third rest room and call it “freaks.”
Nope. It’s a screwed up, faggot infested city. Imagine every billboard had homo and HIV testing messages. Well, that’s reality here. I do my best to stop at the Hollywood border when I drive.

wizz all over the seats... women will complain and then maybe things will go back to as normal as it gets out there
Either satire or they have found yet another way to insure that I’ll never visit there.
As far as I can tell, Snopes has not yet debunked this, they’re the final authority on these sort of things /sarc!
West Hollywood was a public freak show on the streets 40 years ago, this is not a bit surprising now and probably just the tip of the iceberg as to what’s coming there.
If some middle aged man follows my 5 year old daughter into a restroom violence may ensue.
I’d be finding a blind person to file an ADA lawsuit as I’m sure that these new city mandated bathroom signs aren’t ADA compatible.
That’s a damned good idea, I know a guy that does cases like this, gonna have to call him.
Precisely why it’s bullcrap like this that makes me rethink the Reconquista thing. If laRaza wants to give CA to Mexico, then Mexico can HAVE CA, and ALL that goes with it! Just let us relocate the Reagan Library, Golden Gate Bridge, and the Petersen Museum.
