For Provincial Board Member Arleigh Sitoy the answer is yes. He believes that it is high time to end the confusion of what public restroom should a member of the third sex enter given the present set up wherein there are only male and female comfort rooms available.
Sitoy has proposed an ordinance requiring owners and operators of business establishments in the Province of Cebu to designate a separate restroom exclusively for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders or LGBT.
Sitoy said that as human beings LGBTs should be accorded the same rights, dignity and respect due them for them to feel safe, comfortable and convenient in using public restrooms.
