The right to free speech is also the right to call another person by any identifier you please. This bill will never stand. It's an asinine attempt by morons to promote their feeling based agendas.

The supreme court has and will uphold the first amendment. Regardless of what the stupid lower level courts say.

Won't stand up to Supreme Court scrutiny. Whoever wrote this law should be tarred and feathered and banned from politics for seven lifetimes.

Agree but those things are not written in the Bill of Rights. Then again the right to keep and bear arms....shall not be infringed sure seems to have gone the way of the buggy whip.
Great. California's version of Bill C-16. Its not going to pass because people will realize that it goes against the First Amendment. After watching more of Jordan Peterson's videos on this, it made me think.
A bill like this might be passed, but worded in such a way so it gets around the First Amendment such as the PATRIOT ACT. Instead of jail time, it would be a fine for thought crime. SB 219 is originally used to help the elderly, but they put this "gender pronoun" clause in it to prevent "discrimination"
Part of the bill I found interesting:
"This bill would enact the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Long-Term Care Facility Resident’s Bill of Rights. Among other things, the bill would make it unlawful, except as specified, for any long-term care facility to take specified actions wholly or partially on the basis of a person’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, including, among others, willfully and repeatedly failing to use a resident’s preferred name or pronouns after being clearly informed of the preferred name and pronouns and or pronouns, or denying admission to a long-term care facility, transferring or refusing to transfer a resident within a facility or to another facility, or discharging or evicting a resident from a facility. The bill would also provide certain protections to all residents of long-term care facilities during, among others, other things, physical examinations or treatments, relating to bodily privacy. The bill would define long-term care facility for purposes of these provisions to include skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and residential care facilities for the elderly. The bill would also, among other things, require each facility to post a specified notice regarding discrimination alongside its current non-discrimination policy in all places and on all materials where the non-discrimination policy is posted. The bill would require a violation of these provisions to be treated as a violation under the Long-Term Care, Health, Safety, and Security Act of 1973, the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Act, or specified provisions providing for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, which may include the imposition of civil penalties. By expanding the definition of existing crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program."
