FTake a look at the document at this link, and consider again whether the video is a “scare tactic”. Everything he said from 1:25 onward is accurate. Just do some searching. http://www.hutchgov.com/egov/docs/1332537777_170654.pdf
From the attached sexual orientation Human Rights proposal on how the additions would be implemented:
- A transgender person must be allowed to use restrooms appropriate to their gender identity rather than their assigned gender at birth without being harassed or questioned. Where single occupancy restrooms are available, they may be designated as “gender neutral.”
- Transgender individuals should be permitted to use gender-segregated restrooms in accordance with their gender identity, rather than their birth sex. With respect to facilities that are restricted on the basis of sex, the following are some of the factors that suggest discriminatory conduct related to gender identity has occurred:
• Not allowing individuals to use a restroom or other gender-segregated facility consistent with their gender identity or gender expression; or
• Requiring an individual to provide identification as a means of identifying their gender before allowing them to use the restroom or other gender-segregated facility.
- 3. Q. What if other patrons have safety or moral objections to a transgender individual’s use of a gender-segregated restroom?
- A. Covered entities are encouraged to provide accommodations to individuals who have concerns about use of public restrooms because of gender identity or gender expression. Such accommodations could include, for example, offering the use of a private restroom to a member of the public, or encouraging that individual to wait until the other person has left the restroom. Remember, however, that it would be illegal to require a transgender person to use a gender-neutral restroom facility, or to require a transgender person to use restrooms appropriate to their gender identity only when others are not present.
- 4. Q. Must transgender people also be allowed to use gender-segregated locker and shower facilities?
- A. Yes. It is recommended that public accommodation facilities, such as locker rooms, which are designated for use based on sex, take steps to create private spaces within them (for example, by installing curtains or cubicles). Individuals who are nonetheless uncomfortable with sharing locker or shower facilities with a transgender person should be accommodated by allowing those individuals to shower or change at a time when they will be able to use the facility in private. Similarly, if a transgender individual requests to use locker or shower facilities in private, because of safety or privacy concerns, the individual should be accommodated in that request. Factors that suggest discriminatory conduct has occurred will include not allowing individuals to use a locker room or shower consistent with their gender identity or gender expression.
- Churches
- “For example, if a church has a parish hall that they rent out to the general public, they could not discriminate against a gay couple who want to rent the building for a party. If the church only rents the building to their parishioners, they can continue to do so.
This proposal would have allowed “transgenders” (defined by identity OR expression) to use opposite-sex LOCKER and SHOWER facilities and BATHROOMS, at all “places of public accommodation.” Churches would NOT be exempt if they “open their services to the general public”, to include restrooms and meeting halls for gay weddings.
How many churches limit restroom use to members only? How many churches make their facilities available for weddings to the general public, as part of their ministry? Laws like this are designed to either force the church to comply, or limit its influence upon the culture.
