RED ALERT: Act now to keep ‘men’ and ‘women’ restrooms separate

Monday, April 18, 2016, 8:37 am | Randy Thomasson

Photos of high schoolers in Los Angeles creating official “all gender” multi-person restroom by removing “girls” sign from restroom door.

Unless you act now, you can kiss separate restrooms for men and women goodbye. The next vote in the California State Assembly is April 20.

Ready for sexual anarchy to bust loose?

Today, you’re seeing the pro-perversity Democrats and Republicans pushing to eliminate separate single-stall restrooms for men and women.

But a few years after young people have become desensitized, you can fully expect bad politicians to then push to eliminate men and women restrooms, where there are multiple stalls and multiple persons allowed in.

Mark my words — this is the goal of the transsexual agenda politicians. They want to replace natural, God-given genders with sexual anarchy — to the utter confusion of children. It’s already happening at a Los Angeles high school.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Please take a stand today against this blatant attack on male and female distinctions. Call the deciding votes before April 20 and say:

“I’m calling because I want Assemblymember _______ to oppose AB 1732. This bill paves the way for mixing men with women in multiple-stall restrooms, motivates small businesses to offer one not two restrooms, affects home businesses, and threatens church schools and the religious freedom of everyone. Please vote no.”

SAVECALIFORNIA.COM ANALYSIS OF AB 1732
Bill Text

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: (as amended April 11, 2016)

SECTION 1. Article 5 (commencing with Section 118600) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 15 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code, to read:

Article 5. Single-User Restrooms
118600. (a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

(b) During any inspection of a business or a place of public accommodation by an inspector, building official, or other local official responsible for code enforcement, the inspector or official may inspect for compliance with this section.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

(d) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2017.

What the 2 key sentences mean:

(a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use.

This means:

1. The “men” and “women” — or “boys” and “girls” — all the men/women/boys/girls restroom signs currently on single-occupancy restrooms must come down.

2. Pro-transsexuality/cross-dressing/”sex change” symbols defining restrooms as “all gender” must go up instead.

3. Small businesses that wish to save time and money can go from having two restrooms (men and women) to only one restroom (“all gender”).

4. Even home businesses come under the “any business establishment” phrase.

5. “Place of public accommodation” is undefined and could mean private entities of several types. Federal law, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, says the only places of public accommodation are private entities. Under AB 1732, which private entities are included and which are excluded? Small businesses, home businesses, religious businesses, schools, church schools, churches — where in the bill does it say who is included and who is exempt? Besides the lack of definition for “public accommodation,” there is no religious exemption in AB 1732.

(c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user.

This could mean:

1. For businesses that must have restrooms — such as food service or gas stations — under this definition, must they now pay to install men’s urinals in current women’s restrooms?

2. For home businesses, must they now pay to install a men’s urinal in addition to paying for and posting an “all gender” restroom sign?

Please act now, before the April 20 vote on AB 1732 in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man,
nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment,
for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 22:5

 

Why you should oppose homosexuality

Tuesday, November 3, 2015, 7:26 pm | Randy Thomasson

Today, far too many people “catch” sexually-transmitted infections, at younger ages, with devastating consequences.

And the sexual molestation of children, which has the potential to warp their gender identities, is pervasive due to the harmful influences of moral relativism, pornography/obscenity, and other negative factors.

Meanwhile, the scientific and moral ignorance of most Americans means they believe the lie that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are biologically based (they’re not) and that this behavior — or as some call it, “sexual orientation” — deserves “civil rights status” (it’s doesn’t).

As a result of this widespread ignorance, along with judicial tyrants who traitorously violate the written constitution, there is now open oppression of Christian values in America.

In the past few years, a growing number of Americans have been punished for upholding their God-given, constitutional religious freedom to their beliefs on sexual matters.

These pro-family bakers, florists, photographers, doctors, business owners, property owners, and parents have been victimized by the intolerant and tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda which, through bullying, has superseded the the First Amendment and hijacked the U.S. Constitution.

Listen to this SaveCalifornia.com Minute explaining why homosexuality is not healthy, not natural, and not a “civil right.”

Visit SaveCalifornia.com’s “Not Born This Way” to see the evidence why homosexuality and transsexuality are unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, and tyrannical.

Read about Walt Heyer, who had his gender messed with as a child, who became a transsexual, then repented of his sins before Christ and left transsexuality behind, and now he ministers to those struggling with gender disorders.

“Even if the true prevalence of child sexual abuse is not known, most will agree that there will be 500,000 babies born in the US this year that will be sexually abused before they turn 18 if we do not prevent it,” according to the Children Assessment Centre (CAC). The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau report Child Maltreatment 2010 found that 16% of young people aged 14 to 17 had been sexually victimized in that year, and over the course of their lifetime, 28% of young people in the US, aged 14 to 17, had been sexually victimized. “Adult retrospective studies show that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men were sexually abused before the age of 18. This means there are more than 42 million adult survivors of child sexual abuse in the US,” said the CAC.

You can help protect crisis pregnancy centers

Saturday, October 17, 2015, 11:17 am | Randy Thomasson

CrisisPregnancyCenter

I’ve been on the phone this week talking to directors of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) about what’s needed to overturn the unconstitutional and tyrannical new law (AB 775), requiring posted signs urging pregnant mothers to turn around, exit, and go get a tax-subsidized abortion.

It’s illogical for anyone to compare “labeling” CPCs to how the government requires boxes at the grocery store to be labeled. Those laws require disclosure of what’s inside the box. But AB 775 intolerantly requires disclosure of what’s not inside the CPC, namely, that they won’t kill babies.

At its core, forcing pro-abortion signs at pro-life centers is forcing them to say what they don’t wish. It’s compelled speech, a direct violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which reads in part, “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech.”

To win in federal court, probably going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, pro-life centers must not be outnumbered by pro-abortion parties and outgunned by pro-abortion attorneys.

I say this because I have seen a problem several times in court: where a certain pro-family legal group wants to be the ONLY lawsuit, leaving our side with only 1 attorney speaking in court, while the anti-family side has 3 or 4 attorneys who get to speak. Therefore, it’s weak and foolish for CPCs to be represented by only 1 legal organization or to limit the number of lawsuits.

Instead, we need several lawsuits from several parties represented by several pro-life legal organizations. This way, the outcry against this bad law is bigger and louder, and more pro-life attorneys get to speak in court. Yes, we need to lobby judges to do the right thing!

SaveCalifornia.com is working to gather additional plaintiffs to join a federal lawsuit (with no work or risk required). If you or someone you know directs a pro-life crisis pregnancy center, please call us at 916-265-5650 to identify yourself and to express your interest.

And please consider supporting SaveCalifornia.com with your gift today. I need your help to stand publicly for Life and many other moral values.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
