The Alabama legislature has passed a bill that restricts access to bathrooms for transgenders, based on their birth sex, and bans the discussion of gender and sexual identities among younger school kids.
The bill, HB 322, was passed by the Senate with a vote of 26 to 5, and then by the House of Representatives with a vote of 70 to 26. “A public K-12 school shall require every multiple occupancy restroom or changing area designated for student use to be used by individuals based on their biological sex,” the bill (pdf) states.
