This isn’t California losing its mind; this is California faithfully implementing the madness of liberalism, including criminalizing the most basic aspects of speech. I’m all for public discussions about how we address each other, but criminalizing not doing something in a certain way is gobsmacking.
California can now start jailing people that refuse to use the preferred gender pronouns of nursing home residents after Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill Thursday.
The law’s effect is limited to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, but mandates that those who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse “to use a transgender resident’s preferred name or pronouns” can be slapped with a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison, according to the California Heath and Safety code.
Known as the “LGBT Senior Bill Of Rights,” the legislation also requires nursing homes and care facilities to allow residents to use the bathroom of their choice, regardless of biological sex. The bill’s author, state Sen. Scott Weiner, argues that religious views don’t hold weight in public areas.
In the meantime…
This, from the country’s first sanctuary State. The patients are running the asylum. Can’t wait for the next piece of unbelievable poo to come from this Governor. Such a shame how the liberals have ruined this beautiful state.
