In the near future, you may no longer have to wait in line to use the men's or women's room. A proposed city-wide ordinance would make all business, single occupancy bathrooms, "gender neutral."
Some businesses around town already have unisex bathrooms. None of them wanted to talk to FOX 7 on camera, but if this ordinance passes, all businesses will eventually have to adopt the rule if their bathrooms only have one toilet.
For some people, it's not as simple as identifying with the silhouette of a man or woman in a dress.
"We're in regular contact with leaders within the LGBTQ community," Austin City Council member Chris Riley said.
Riley says some members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning community find the faceless figures outside bathroom doors discriminating, forcing them to conform to a gender identity.
"We could easily make those gender neutral and address the concerns that are out there about safety and comfort," Riley said.
Riley is proposing a city ordinance that would make all single-occupancy bathrooms inside businesses free of gender signage. http://www.myfoxaustin.com/story/26342470/unisex-bathroom-ordinance-proposed
i know a lot of places with one bathroom that has been used by either gender, some for decades, with no ill effect. of course they are one person bathrooms, and one at a time...
wasn’t a problem until they came out with the term uni-sex.
It’ll take nothing short of a purge.
This same council voted to put a transportation issue on the ballot in Nov. that would allow them to pass $4 billion in bonds for a choo, choo train to serve a few residents. Not one cent to improve IH 35.
We have unisex bathrooms at my house. I wish we didn’t.
As my 3 daughters say, it’s gross and only Gay men want it. Straight men, women and gay women don’t want it. So my daughters say do the math on this issue.
ya.. it starts in one place.. and it spreads.. Austin is the state capital right?
I thought the Mayor of Houston was trying to get this approved in Houston.
Many of the college campuses in Texas have unisex facilities, don’t they?
One of the many reasons why I don’t go south into Travis County.
Stories like this remind me of an old (and crude) cartoon about Unisex urinals with the caption, “This Women’s Lib thing has gone too far!”
Yes, Austin is the capitol of Texas. I think it should be moved and send all the fornicators back to Kalifornika, Boston or New York. I’ll say it this way, Austin does NOT represent the culture of the rest of Texas.
So.....i can assume from the text that these LGBT nimrods cant decipher which organs they possess?
This is further proof that LIBs are mentally ill (as if more proof is needed).
Just keepin’ Austin weird. First they indict Governor Perry. Now this?
Couldn’t you just build a wall around the festering sore area, then fill with concrete?
Why are the liberals so obsessed with having men and women defecating in stalls next to one another? Are they sick or something?
Yes, they are mentally ill.
You will need a wall around every major city in Texas. They are all liberal infested. The wall needed to be on the border.
Not yet anyways ;)
Minnesota is kinda the same way. the libs run the major metro areas and thus, the state.
Unless it only has an urinal, wouldn’t all single occupancy bathrooms be ‘gender-neutral’? All the bathrooms in my house are ‘gender-neutral’.
This guy Riley is an idiot.
