Gavin Newsom: Toy Retailers Must Have ‘Gender Neutral’ Sections or Face Fines

Breitbart ^ | 6 Dec 2023 | OLIVIA RONDEAU

[Mr. Mojo]

Major California toy retailers without “gender-neutral” sections will be fined hundreds of dollars under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pro-LGBTQ bill.

Assembly Bill No. 1084, signed by Newsom in 2021, will be enacted on January 1, 2024, and will require stores that sell “childcare items or toys” for children aged 12 years or younger to display a gender-neutral section — or be fined up to $500.

Stores will be required by law to have designated gender-neutral toys “regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys,” the bill states.

The legislation will apply to retailers with 500 or more employees, and those who fail to comply will be “liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $250 for a first violation or $500 for a subsequent violation.”

The bill was originally introduced into the California Assembly by then-Assemblyman Evan Low (D-CA), who is now a representative in the U.S. Congress.

He celebrated Newsom signing the bill in a 2021 statement to the Associated Press, saying “We need to stop stigmatizing what’s acceptable for certain genders and just let kids be kids.”

“My hope is this bill encourages more businesses across California and the U.S. to avoid reinforcing harmful and outdated stereotypes,” Low said, adding that he was “incredibly grateful” for Newsom’s support on the bill.

When the assembly bill was first introduced, Lego released a statement saying that the company was working to make its products more inclusive for girls.

California Exit Tax & Wealth Tax: What Is it & How it Applies to You

4 days agoThe amount of the California exit tax is 0.4% of an individuals' net worth over $30,000,000 in a tax year, no matter where it's located—within CA, other states within the US, or overseas. This amount is halved to $15,000,000 if a married taxpayer files a separate return to their spouse.

How State Income Tax Can Follow You Even After You Move

In certain situations, your former state can tax income that you receive even after you establish residence in Florida. Paraphrasing a famous movie quote, just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in. Take the example of a performance bonus award. Suppose Peter moves from New Jersey to Florida on January 1, 2019, after accepting a ...

Then, in United States v. Brown,9 a sharply divided Court held void as a bill of attainder a statute making it a crime for a member of the Communist Party to serve as an officer or as an employee of a labor union.

Congress could, Chief Justice Warren wrote for the majority, under its commerce power, protect the economy from harm by enacting a prohibition generally applicable to any person who commits certain acts or possesses certain characteristics making him likely in Congress’s view to initiate political strikes or other harmful deeds and leaving it to the courts to determine whether a particular person committed the specified acts or possessed the specified characteristics.

It was impermissible, however, for Congress to designate a class of persons—members of the Communist Party—as being forbidden to hold union office.10 .

However, in United States v. Robel, 389 U.S. 258 (1967), a very similar statute making it unlawful for any member of a “Communist-action organization” to be employed in a defense facility was struck down on First Amendment grounds and the bill of attainder argument was ignored.

The dissenters viewed the statute as merely expressing in shorthand the characteristics of those persons who were likely to utilize union responsibilities to accomplish harmful acts; Congress could validly conclude that all members of the Communist Party possessed those characteristics.11 ---

Choose 3.

This 'other' is not the one you are searching for.

[Elsie]

Good thing you put the /s on there!

Else someone could come along and screech:

ASSIGNED at birth gender!

[nopardons]

Most were, some weren't...like baby carriages for dolls and doll houses.

But for the vast majority of toys and games, yes, there was NO specific toys for "boys" ( maybe G.I. Joe ) only.

Boys and girls played with toy guns, even Lionel had a "girls'" set of toy trains, in pastel colors; which is now worth a very great deal of money!

The CRAZIES, of today,just want to corrupt/spoil everything.

I was assured that gender was an artificial construct.

Cheaper to pay the fine than to deal with the nonsense and overhead of this crap.. which may be the laws intended purpose...

What does the law say those fines must be used for?

I don’t know what you’re doing but it is time for you to stop posting to me.

You have a freaky obsession with me and have been stalking me for years.

Your behavior is often strange and whatever you are attempting here is creepy.

That’s why the admins removed your previous post.

I told you to knock it off years ago but I thought maybe you had gtown up.

Obviously you have not.

Stay away from me. Do not post to me again.

[Jim Robinson]

Knock it off! Now!
