Storming the Capitol Bathroom

Two protests opposing restrictions on single-sex facilities occurred at the Cannon House Office Building last Thursday. A spokesperson for the United States Capitol Police told National Review that approximately 15 people were arrested on charges of crowding, obstructing, or incommoding for illegally protesting inside the building.

Activists affiliated with the Gender Liberation Movement staged a “bathroom sit-in” across from Speaker Johnson’s office in response to his statement that House members, officers, and employees are required to use single-sex facilities in accordance with sex. The activists recited some uninspired chants while carrying signs that said “STOP PISSING ON OUR RIGHTS” and “FLUSH BATHROOM BIGOTRY.”
