Trump Properties Reject Gender-Neutral Bathrooms

IMG_6501.JPGLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – From New York to Las Vegas, from Miami to Honolulu, Trump hotel properties are refusing to adopt gender-neutral bathrooms despite the growing clamor among LGBT and rights activists.

The clamor arose from a controversial new law in North Carolina (HB 2) blocking cities from allowing transgender individuals to use public bathrooms for the sex they identify as — as well as restricting cities from passing nondiscrimination laws more broadly.

Instead of adopting gender-neutral bathrooms, all Trump properties have now renovated their public bathrooms to segregate nasty women and bad hombres.

Philippine College Encourages Same-Sex Relationships Among Its Students

The Golden Heritage Polytechnic College has a adopted a policy prohibiting its students from having a romantic relationship with the opposite sex as long as they are attending said school.

School president Tito Dichosa said that the policy, expressed clearly in a billboard in front of the campus, as well as on teachers’ uniforms, is aimed at preventing teenage pregnancies.

Dichosa said his only wish is for his students to finish college, adding that he gets frustrated whenever a student gets pregnant and stops studying.

Only same-sex relationships — those that do not result in pregnancies — are allowed by the school. Encouraged, perhaps?
