‘This is woke’: Heated debate after Illinois State Senate passes bill expanding gender-neutral bathrooms

Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Important Takeaways:

  • The Illinois State Senate passed a bill on Thursday which would expand gender-neutral bathrooms, and it sparked a heated debate on the Senate floor.
  • HB1286 would allow establishments to install gender-neutral bathrooms that are multi-occupancy, meaning a shared bathroom across all genders, and all gender identities.
  • “This is woke,” said State Sen. Andrew Chesney (R-45), who voted against the bill. “This is radical. This is out of touch with everybody in my district and your districts.”
  • Sponsors said it’s about “inclusivity,” and giving everyone a “safe and comfortable space” to use the restroom, regardless of sex or gender identity.
  • “This is going to cause violence. And it’s going to cause violence from dads like me.”
