Not in the
Paris of the Pacific Northwest, you won't;
The Seattle City Council on Monday adopted legislation requiring all
City-controlled and privately occupied public accommodations to
designate existing and future single-stall bathrooms as all-gender
facilities.
The legislation applies to such businesses as restaurants, coffee
shops, hotels and stores. It mandates that all single-occupancy City
bathrooms, and those at public accommodations, must have signage that
is not gender exclusive but allows use by any gender identity.
That's from a column by the
Seattle PI's Joel Connelly, who further reports;
The Seattle legislation was recommended by the Mayor’s LGBT Task Force.
The City had been urged to get off the pot and signal full acceptance
of its transgender community. The new rules will be enforced by the
Seattle Office of Civil Rights, a zealous advocate of non-discrimination
in policy and political correctness in language.
