Gender neutral bathrooms mandated for city buildings



Philadelphia has passed new LGBT legislation stating that all new or renovated city buildings must have gender neutral bathrooms in addition to men's and women's rooms.

That's according to this story on Advocate.com. The legislation also "offers tax credits to companies that provide LGBT-inclusive employee benefits, amends the city's nondiscrimination ordinance to be inclusive of gender identity, and offers some relationship recognition rights for same-sex couples," the story said.

Mayor Michael Nutter said that he hopes Philadelphia becomes “the most LGBT-friendly” city in the world.
