This is a return of last years Hey Mister, nice dress. This bill prohibits any employer, including school administrators and non-profit organizations such as churches, from disallowing any employee to come to work dressed in any manner that best expresses that persons gender identity" even if that person changes which gender they identify with every other day.
In essence, this means that a 200-pound, bearded male could come to work dressed in high heels and a dress, and the employer could not send him home to change. To do so would be an act of discrimination punishable with a fine of up to $150,000 per occurrence.
Other acts of discrimination includes looks or glances which could be interpreted as non-acceptance by the cross-dressser.
The bill is currently on Gray Davis' desk awating his signature.

While these guys are re-writing the language, why can't they come up with a non-gender pronoun? When I was in school, 30-40 years ago, the grammer books stated that male pronouns like 'he', included 'she.' Then the feminist came along and took females out of the male pronouns. Personally, I liked being a part of "Where no Man Has Gone Before."

Now that this problem (excuse me, I meant "issue") is solved, maybe the Senators will have time to turn their attention to the state's bankruptcy.

He said he would just send them out on a delivery of a pool table to a house where the table was to be placed on a second or third floor.
Can you just invision a guy in heels carrying a 300 pound piece slate up two or three floors?
Surely he would leave the next day, don't ya think!!!!!!

" A person's gender identity has nothing to do with their ability to pay rent or to act as a competent employee, and we should not tolerate such arbitrary discrimination. " This is one of the most ridiculous contentions I've ever heard.

Be prepared - Davis and the Lib Legislature are going to go crazy pandering to every crazy interest group they can find. Mexifornia is a real possibility between now and October 7th.

The next step, of course, will be the insistence that they can use the restrooms and other facilities for their chosen "gender".

If the bill is signed into law, California would join New Mexico, Rhode Island and Minnesota in offering such protections. Four places not to do business in or reside.
