At last, Beyoncé kicked off her “Renaissance World Tour” Wednesday night in Stockholm, Sweden. The megastar’s first solo run since 2016 is full of plenty of on-stage spectacles, plus at least one unexpected surprise behind the scenes: Gender-neutral bathrooms for the entire Beyhive.
Photos shared to Twitter show a small DIY sign attached to the wall with duct tape, presumably over usual signs, indicating that at least most of the restrooms would be gender-neutral for the event. Considering the size of arenas Bey will be taking over to celebrate her three-act Renaissance project throughout the year, her team’s choice to make all the bathrooms gender-neutral is pretty significant.
It’s also worth pointing out that Beyoncé’s tour will be making stops in plenty of US states that have recently passed laws or policies banning gender-affirming care for kids under 18, including Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and more.
