Every New Yorker has the legal right to use the bathroom consistent with their gender identity, no questions asked \u2013 and these powerful ads affirm this right,\u201d said Mayor Bill de Blasio. \u201cNew York City has long been a leader in the fight for LGBTQ equality, and these ads are further evidence of the City\u2019s unwavering support of our diverse communities. While other cities and states are legislating intolerance and taking away individuals\u2019 right to use bathrooms consistent with their gender identity, we are proudly standing with our transgender and gender non-conforming New Yorkers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery New Yorker has the right to use the restroom that matches their gender identity and where they feel comfortable and safe,\u201c said First Lady Chirlane McCray, Honorary Chair of the Commission on Gender Equity. \u201cNo New Yorker should have to worry about hiding their gender identity to take care of basic human needs. Others may advance hateful agendas that discriminate based on gender or gender identity, but that kind of bigotry will never be acceptable here, and we will keep fighting to root it out until no New Yorker feels discriminated against.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ads feature real trans New Yorkers and will appear in subway cars, at bus stations, in phone booths, on TV and in all kinds of community newspapers and social media networks. Proud to be a New Yorker.
