A Senator Is Trying To Pass A Bill That Would Require Diaper Changing Tables In Men’s Bathrooms

“This is an issue … that is highly representative of the inequality that exists in parenting responsibility, as well as the lack of recognition by businesses of same sex marriage,” New York Senator Brad Hoylman told BuzzFeed News.

Democratic New York State Senator Brad Hoylman is sick of him and his husband having to change his 4-year-old daughter on a "pee-covered floor next to a urinal," he told BuzzFeed News. He wants to do something about it.

The installation of the changing table in the men's room would be at the expense of the business.

"This is a personal issue for me," the 49-year-old senator told BuzzFeed News, "but it's also about men needing to pick up the slack in parenthood."
