The Obama administration on Wednesday announced that it will be installing a gender-neutral bathroom, thereby keeping in line with its own executive order prohibiting discrimination against LGBT individuals.

The restroom will be located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, a White House spokesperson told Politico.

“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,” the spokesperson said.

The move to install gender-neutral bathrooms comes in the aftermath of Obama’s executive order from June, which prohibited discrimination against federal workers on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Don’t tell Tucker Carlson.

  1. This’ll give the right something to scream about for a day or two.

    Have at it kids.

  2. There are many facilities such as hospitals which have gender neutral bathrooms because they are handicapped accessible. Doesn’t the right have a problem with this?

  3. Have they started bitching about Benghazi yet?

  4. Oh, they’ll screech themselves hoarse over this one. And the White House has to be loving it. Reminds me of the sequence in Office Space where Peter’s going around doing whatever he damn well pleases while “Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” plays in the background.

    Even the Grand Panderer Mitt Romney could not have thought this one up. Bringing politically correct to the toilet seat.
