California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law requiring K-12 schools to provide gender-neutral bathrooms by July 2026.

The new law, Senate Bill 760, was among a series of laws signed by Newsom Saturday to expand protections for the state’s LGBTQ community.

“California is proud to have some of the most robust laws in the nation when it comes to protecting and supporting our LGBTQ+ community,” Newsom said in a statement.

Under the law, “each school district, county office of education, and charter school” would be required to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom on campus on or before July 1, 2026. The bathroom must be available for use during school hours and during school functions when students are present, the law states.

Just wait until conservatives find out there are already gender neutral bathrooms in their own homes!

Oh the horror!

imagine thinking this is an own. Home bathrooms are made for one person at a time.

So are most gender neutral bathrooms at businesses. I bet most of the conservatives don't care if they are, and if asked would still oppose them on principle (even if they don't actually notice when they use them at businesses)
