One Blue State Will Fine Stores That Do Not Offer ‘Gender-Neutral’ Products for Children

This week, Townhall covered how a slew of students in one Democrat-leaning state have began identifying as “non-binary.” This year showed an increase for the fourth year in a row, and an almost 57 percent increase from the previous year.

Additionally, Townhall has reported how some schools have pushed the LGBTQ+ agenda on children as young as preschool. 

A California law slated to go into effect in the coming weeks will require some stores that sell children’s items to implement a gender-neutral section. 

According to the California government’s website, the law will “require a retail department store that is physically located in California that has a total of 500 or more employees across all California retail department store locations that sells childcare items or toys to maintain a gender neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer, in which a reasonable selection of the items and toys for children that it sells shall be displayed, regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.”

Beginning January 1, 2024, stores that do not comply with the law will be subject to a “civil penalty not to exceed $250 for the first violation or $500 for a subsequent violation.”

The law defines “children” as a person 12 years of age or younger. A “childcare item” includes “any product designed or intended by the manufacturer to facilitate sleep, relaxation, or the feeding of children, or to help children with sucking or teething.”

Earlier this year, Target faced intense backlash after unveiling its Pride collection, which included “gender neutral” and “transgender”items, including “tuck friendly” bathing suits for men to appear more feminine. As a result, Target held an “emergency meeting” over the collection. Some stores moved their Pride sections as a result. Matt covered how Target lost billions of dollars due to boycotts over the products.

In addition, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill into law that will fine schools that ban textbooks based on their teachings on race, sexual orientation and gender identity. In a statement about the legislation, Newsom attacked states like Florida, where parental rights are protected.

“From Temecula to Tallahassee, fringe ideologues across the country are attempting to whitewash history and ban books from schools. With this new law, we’re cementing California’s role as the true freedom state: a place where families — not political fanatics — have the freedom to decide what’s right for them,” Newsom said in a statement

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Newsom said that Republicans are pushing “extremist book bans” and described it as “discriminatory.”
