The bill, which requires that "men" and "women" signs on single-stall restrooms be replaced with ones indicating they are unisex, is "yet another step toward becoming a place where all can live with dignity, free from fear and free from judgment," the mayor said. The legislation was designed with transgender people in mind, though it could also benefit the women who get stuck in long lines while the men's room is empty and parents tending to children of the opposite sex. Kevin Dugan, regional director of the New York State Restaurant Association, which has lobbied against previous bills like the one requiring chain eateries to post calorie counts, said he didn't expect the bathroom law to hurt business.
