Controversial 'bathroom bill' headed to California governor

An attorney laments the passage of a California bill that allows students to use facilities for the gender they identify with - not the one given to them by God.

California Assembly Bill 1266, crafted for transgendered students, has passed the state Senate and is on its way to the governor's desk.

"What that bill does is further emphasize the right in California of students to claim their own gender identity to use the facilities of their choice - restrooms and locker rooms that is," says Robert Tyler of Advocates For Faith and Freedom.

Tyler also explains that AB 1266 would mandate schools to allow students to participate in sex-segregated actives.

The bill "goes even further to give students the ability to choose which athletic team they want to be on," he tells OneNewsNow.

OneNewsNow has reported on the bill in recent months, most recently when the bill passed out of a Senate education committee with a narrow 5-2 vote with two absentions. Backers of the bill said it was needed to ensure transgendered students have legal rights under California state law.?

Pro-family groups are urging individuals to contact California Governor Jerry Brown to ask him to veto the bill.

If the governor does sign AB 1266 into law, it will take effect January 2014.
