Days after Mayor Eric Adams sparked widespread outrage by attacking inclusive bathroom policies in New York, he doubled down on his remarks — even while admitting he doesn’t have the power to change the laws himself. In an interview on PIX 11 on Sept. 22, the mayor said he analyzed city and state laws and concluded that he is unable to change inclusive bathroom policies. State and city policies have long protected individuals’ right to use facilities in accordance with their gender identity, and state officials wasted little time countering the mayor’s remarks by pointing to the inclusive laws. What are we doing in our city that we are allowing these policies to impact and confuse our children? This is wrong.”The mayor has offered no evidence to support his points about boys in girls’ bathrooms.
