The White House Complex Now Has a Gender-Neutral Bathroom

With all of the scrutiny about LGBT rights and issues, the White House took a so called "symbolic" step regarding human rights.  They believed that doing this would make people more comfortable and protected from discrimination amungst the White House.  A spokesperson for CNN said "The White House allows staff and guests to use restrooms consistent with their gender identity, which is in keeping with the Administration's existing legal guidance on this issue and consistent with what is required by the Executive Order that took effect today for federal contractors."  Restrooms like this have been appearing in very public places while there are still gender specific restrooms.  Many new laws and rights have been given to people that are LGBT and will continue to take strides for equality.
