    Today Congress passed the Equality Act by a vote of 224-206 with "3" (yes count them) 3 Republicans voting yes....no longer can businesses and institutions discriminate against anyone in the LGBTQ community....I salute the passing of this bill and highlight that 206 of 209 Republicans in Congress voted NO on this bill....what a shame on their party.

    That's like saying how many types of music are there....my answer...who cares? A good song is a good song! People are whack with their needs for defining everything...we're all standard meat popsicles...mucus and bobbles....but that shouldn't stop us from choosing a path that isn't for everybody or being treated fairly

    So your answer is "I don't know". Why do we have men's and women's restrooms then? That's discrimination!

    no...my answer is, people define themselves and if there's a need who cares if there's more bathrooms or even just one for everyone.....I sure don't but I respect the needs of others...my bathroom situation is fine with my gender....I would have no problem if they were all shared by everyone....no gender needed. When they start handing out shovels with a roll of toilet paper and point to a field...I'll complain

    When the question is "how many" and you don't come up with a number, your answer is "I don't know"

    Sure, let women fight on the front lines like everyone else. Actually, require it, since there are no genders anymore.

    Agree?

    You're about to find out about those front lines ...marriage...your gender won't save you from total domination

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It would be sensible to simply have bathrooms that anyone can use, all stalls. Assuming the practicalities of public bathrooms are your concern here.

    Plenty like that in Bay area. No resulting problem. Just picked up new glasses, eye doctor has one single stall restroom.

    All over the world I've found it to be like that many places...no big deal...people don't have gender tags on porta potties either without problems.

    I agree.

    Most restaurants here turned the men's room into the "catch-all for the 87 genders" but left the women's room as is.
