Seattle follows Philly in making public restrooms gender neutral.

No matter how you identify, you’ll now be able to use a single-stall bathroom in the city of Seattle.
The Seattle City Council passed a law on Monday that requires all public spaces–both those controlled by the city and those of private businesses–to designate any existing and future single-stall restrooms as all-gender, reported local news outlet Seattle Pi.

This goes for all local businesses, including coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and stores. The law prevents business owners from labeling any restroom as gender exclusive.
Seattle isn’t the first city in the U.S. to make the move. Philadelphia passed similar legislation last year, and the federal government has also established gender neutral restrooms in the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Seattle’s new law was recommended by the Mayor’s LGBT Task Force and will be enforced by the Seattle Office of Civil Rights.

Somebody clarify these regulations for me.

1) Is it saying that all new buildings have to at least one gender neutral bathroom.....
2) A single toilet business has to be gender neutral (which is the case anyway)
3) OR a single bathroom with multiple stalls has to be gender neutral :dahell:, and no longer anymore single gender bathrooms?

Exactly. As stated "This goes for all local businesses, including coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and stores. The law prevents business owners from labeling any restroom as gender exclusive".

pure lunacy. they're going to play around with this gender fluid nonsense until a disaster comes, aka some perverted dude harasses a female in one of these 'inclusive' bathrooms.

That being the entire reason for different bathrooms: I would expect it to happen day 1.

What I read mentions "single stall" so perhaps "multi stall" arrangements will still adhere to the laws of sanity.
