A new bill in the California state assembly would ban stores from separating their toys, clothing and childcare items into boys and girls sections and would fine them $1,000 if they did so.
The bill, sponsored by Democratic Assemblymember Evan Low (Silicon Valley), says each retail department store shall maintain one, undivided area of its sales floor where, if it sells toys, all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed.
The bill, AB2826, includes similar language for clothing and childcare articles such as pacifiers. It would apply only to retail chains with 500 or more employees, with each violation costing $1,000.
A legislative counsels digest accompanying the bill makes clear its intent.
This bill would require a retail department store to maintain undivided areas of its sales floor where, if it sells childcare articles, childrens clothing, or toys, all childcare items, all clothing for children, or all toys, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed, the digest says.
The goal is to have a gender-neutral retail department, the bill says.
A press release from Lows office said children should not feel stigmatized for wearing a dinosaur shirt or playing with a Barbie doll. Separating toys and clothes by gender makes it more difficult for the consumer to compare products, the release added. It also incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate, the press release said.
I was inspired to introduce this bill after 8-year-old Britten asked, Why should a store tell me what a girls shirt or toy is? Low said.
The bill would help children express themselves freely and without bias, he added.
We need to let kids be kids,

Talk about your science deniers...
Yes, just have all merchandise in a big pile in the middle of a big room. Any sorting of any products is discrimination, and this must be banned..
In the closet, or in the crosshairs.
I’m taking a guess here.... Democratic Assemblymember Evan Low..is gay or a transsexual.
Soviet Unionesque...
So, legislatures can pass laws which order people to do things for which there is no compelling state interest? Since when?
Nor separate deodorant.
Nor different shaving devices for men and women.
And we should mandate and fine those that don't offer left handed bats, phones and hammers.
These people...that "rule" are @#%^#$^$% cra, cra!!
8 year old kid needed a slap into tomorrow.
Or the freaks that raise the kid do.
The (essentially) Laodicean church. Not the elect (neither of you suggested that but for the thread...).
These would be the churches that pander to liberalism.

“Henceforth all little persons’ clothing shall be be brown, beige or gray. The colors blue and pink are outlawed.”
This HAS to be the Onion or the Bee. Right?
[Im pretty sure at this point im living in the Twilight Zone.]
It’s now a Democrat Reality.
Wait, did Bernie get elected early?
Why stop at toys and clothes? /s
Are they really trying to just kill the remaining brick & mortar stores? I have a love/hate for Amazon, and if we can’t find things in the store whether they’re out of stock or just hard to find, people are just going to go online and order them.
No 8 year old (girl or boy) would ever say what they claim Britten to have said.
LGBQT are targeting kids. It’s hard to believe how emboldened and evil they are.
” A huge open area with all merchandise just randomly displayed...”
That sounds like our Kohl’s store the day after a big sale ends.
Government in places like California has become so punitive and intrusive. None of this sh*t is governments business.
California has become like one giant homeowners association, run by total control freaks.
I know, and I’m scared.

I don’t understand what you mean. What does 2 Timothy have to do with some “Laodicean church”?
So Cally has cleared up all the other pressing problems in that state. Good for them.

Genesis 19 detailed it essentially. Long ago.
