Gender Neutral Signs Coming to Evanston Restrooms

Ordinance approved by city aldermen this week.

City aldermen unanimously approved an ordinance Monday, according to Evanston Now.

There will be no change in signage for multi-occupancy restrooms. Under the state’s human rights act, residents are allowed to use whatever restroom is consistent with their own gender identity.
