Ballot Question 3, a referendum on Massachusetts Public Accommodation Law, passed with almost 68% approval.
Question 3 asked voters if they agreed with the 2016 decision to add gender identity to the list of statuses protected from denial of service or accommodation in public places. The law also controversially included provisions to allow individuals to use spaces that are traditionally divided by gender, such as restrooms and locker rooms, in a manner consistent with their self-identified gender.
