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.

    because females don’t like going to the bathroom around men? Not really hard to understand

      Make all toilets more private than thin sheets of wood with an inch wide gap between them and it shouldn’t be a problem.

      Yah, this is not the men making this an issue. I couldn’t give a fuck if woman walks into the mens room, I’m here pissing and I’m not going to worry about anyone looking. Gods help you if it went the other way, you’d end up on a list.

      I’m not sure why you’re receiving down votes. It’s simple as that.
