A group that advocates equality and full inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is organizing a design contest for a lavatory sign that indicates facilities intended for use by all people regardless of their birth gender or sexual orientation.
Kagawa Prefecture-based PROUD is asking people to submit proposals for a sign that would invite LGBT people to use such restrooms and to do so without the stress of being told by another user that they are in the wrong one.
The group said it will urge local governments to adopt the sign for public lavatories open to all sexual orientations.
