Mayor Jack Young Signs Gender-Inclusive, Single Occupancy Restroom Bill Into Law At Baltimore Pride Weekend
|
[BALTIMORE.CBSLOCAL] Mayor Jack Young signed a bill that would allow all single occupancy restrooms to be used by anyone, male or female.
This is in an effort to provide a safe space for all citizens regardless of their gender identity.
"All of your elected officials believe in equality, we believe in everyone treated the same way," Baltimore Council President Brandon Scott said.
The new law will open up all single occupancy bathrooms with gender-inclusive signage to male and female. This will allow members of the transgender community to use any restroom they feel comfortable with.
Councilman Zeke Cohen introduced the bill and it received unanimous approval from the Baltimore City Council.
"We know that in the city and across the country, restrooms are a space of fear and anxiety for a trans and gender non-binary communities," Cohen said.
Bathroom laws have been a hot button issue across the country.
