Confusion over gender-inclusive restrooms at the LoveLoud Festival led some LGBTQ groups to leave the event early

But when Bobbee Trans Mooremon had a hard time finding a gender-inclusive one. The transgender woman, who is disabled and uses a walker, was told by a festival staffer to go to a nearby men’s restroom.

Mooremon, who was volunteering with the nonprofit QueerMeals, had been told all of the facilities at the Rice-Eccles Stadium would be gender-inclusive for the event created to raise awareness and support to at-risk lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youths.

So Mooremon went inside. But as she was washing her hands, Mooremon said a man wearing LoveLoud volunteer credentials told her she was in the wrong restroom.
