BOSTON – The Massachusetts Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a bill to guarantee access to public facilities, including sex-segregated bathrooms and locker rooms based on their self-selected gender identity.
The so-called bathroom bill (S 735) passed by a lopsided 33-4 in the 40 seat chamber, with all four votes cast against it coming from Republicans. A similar measure is pending in the state House of Representatives, where passage is less certain.
