Brazil: Bill could mean toilets for transvestites

For most, it’s a choice of the men’s room or the women’s. A Brazilian city is trying to give an option to those who don’t fit easily into either category.

A bill passed by the Nova Iguacu city council yesterday would require nightclubs, shopping centres, cinemas and large restaurants to provide a third type of bathroom for transvestites. Mayor Lindberg Farias will decide whether to make it a law.
