As of July 1, 2000, a same-sex couple from any state — where each person is at least age 18, competent, and not closely related by blood — may apply to Vermont town clerks for a civil union license, have that license “certified” by a judge, justice of the peace or willing member of the clergy, and then receive a civil union certificate. This process parallels Vermont law on entering into a civil marriage.”)

For this reason, one focus of transgender activism in the United States and elsewhere has been safe access to public bathrooms – often by advocating for ’gender-neutral’ configurations.”)

A unisex public toilet, alternatively called a unisex bathroom, unisex lavatory, gender-neutral public toilet, gender-neutral washroom, or often shortened to just unisex toilet or unisex restroom is a public toilet that people of any gender or gender identity may use. Developers may use these restrooms in order to save costs and space for eliminating the need for a separate facility, such as on airliners, trains or buses. According to Dalhousie University, Canada: “A gender-neutral washroom is one where the signage is visibly identified with open, inclusive language, not just male or female. It’s evident these facilities are void of gender identity and have accommodations that are especially sensitive to the needs of a greater range of people. Some people are not comfortable using male or female-designated washrooms.”)
