Jun 24, 2021 Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the Gender Recognition Act, approved by the state legislature earlier in June. It’s aimed at reducing discrimination against transgender and non-binary New Yorkers.

Under the new law, a New Yorker who wants to change their gender on an official identification document, or in a court proceeding, no longer needs a doctor’s permission or has to present medical evidence to obtain those changes.
Parents identified on a child’s birth certificate no longer have to choose between father or mother, they will have the option of identifying as a “parent”. All New Yorkers will also be given the option of choosing a gender-neutral “X” on documents, instead of being limited to choosing between male or female, a practice already allowed in New York City.

Bars that don t serve food should get the biggest boost. They ll finally be able to reopen for indoor service, something they can t do in the orange tier.
