Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government has collected enough signatures to let voters decide on a law that provides special rights to people with gender-identity confusion and essentially creates co-ed bathrooms.
Enacted by the Montgomery County Council, the controversial law originally included an exemption for facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms. However, the wording was removed from the law because officials didn’t think it was necessary, a county spokesman told WorldNetDaily.
Maryland Citizens for a Responsible Government fears that without the exemption, men will have easy access to women’s restrooms and locker rooms.
“People are energized; they really feel betrayed by their county government," said Ruth Jacobs, president of the group. "This issue (affects) the privacy of women and children."
