Finally, The White House has a gender-neutral restroom so staff and guests can “use restrooms consistent with their gender identity.”
The move is said to be part of an ongoing push by Obama to show inclusion to the LGBT community.
“An all-gender restroom is also available in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which provides guests and staff an additional option,” said White House spokesman Jeff Tiller.
