Beyoncé has embarked on a tour with her "Renaissance" album. Fans are delighted with the inclusivity of the "Renaissance World Tour" concerts and praise the artist for gender-neutral restrooms. Will they also appear in Poland?

Beyoncé has set off for her 57-tour "Renaissance World Tour." The artist kicked off the series of musical appearances in Stockholm, Sweden, and as expected, she delighted fans.

They were impressed not only by the extraordinary choreography, costumes or huge dancing robot arms. They also marveled at the inclusivity at the concert. A photo showing that the restrooms on Beyoncé's tour are gender-neutral has surfaced online. Does this mean we'll eventually see such LGBTQ+-friendly solutions in Poland?

There were plenty of references to the LGBTQ+ community on the tour promoting Beyoncé's seventh album. In addition to the rainbow flag and references to queer ballroom culture, Honey Balenciaga, an artist from the so-called "Ballrooms" who is also part of the LGBTQ+ community, appeared on stage. ( You can learn more about this artist from the series "POSE" on Netflix).

The most sensational thing, however, was not the Beyoncé concert itself, but the toilets. A photo showing gender-neutral toilets on the "Renaissance World Tour" has appeared online. Most of the toilets are to be marked this way.

If you don't quite know what they are, let me remind you that they are simply gender-free restrooms. They are very important for transgender or non-binary people, because they don't exacerbate social dysphoria. Last year, such toilets were opened by LXXV Jan III Sobieski High School in Warsaw.

The post about gender-neutral toilets was very well received by fans and Internet users. They were enthusiastic about the inclusiveness of the idea and also pointed out purely practical issues. After all, anyone who has been to a concert at least once knows how long the queues to the ladies' restrooms can be.

"Anyone who makes an issue out of it has never been to concerts before. Restrooms are usually treated as if they are gender neutral anyway. Beyoncé is trying to stay up to date and is doing something great! I will always be a fan of hers," says someone on Twitter.

If gender-neutral toilets appear at every concert on the Renaissance World Tour, we'll see them in Poland as well. Beyoncé will perform at PGE National Stadium on June 27, and then we will find out if the artist's inclusivity will also appear in country.
