Beyoncé performed the first show of the Renaissance World Tour on Wednesday, 10
Beyonce returned to the stage with a grand show last Wednesday, the 10th. Renaissance World Tour with presentation in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition to the performance of nearly 40 songs, a detail surprised the audience present at the venue: the bathrooms were defined as “gender neutral.”
The decision was seen as support for the LGBTQIA+ community by fans. Some regions of the United States (Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Missouri and Tennessee) have banned public policies for trans people under 18 recently, as pointed out by the NME.
A Renaissance World Tour lands in the United States after a sequence of shows in Europe and should bring the same policy of neutral bathrooms.

In 2016, Beyonce had already condemned laws against the LGBTQIA+ community proposed in the United States. On her official website, the singer published a note praising “those who did a good job” against legislation passed in North Carolina. The state wanted to force individuals to use the bathroom corresponding to the biological sex declared at birth.
The measure made other great artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr It is Pearl Jamcanceled shows in the state.
