Woman says Boston hotel guard told her to leave bathroom because she ‘was a man’

A couple visiting Boston claims they were wrongfully accused and ejected from the Liberty Hotel during a Kentucky Derby party after being confronted by security over their gender in a women’s restroom. The incident led to aggressive behavior from other guests, and hotel staff later suspended a security officer involved. The couple is now advocating for inclusivity and has raised their experience with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office. Additionally, the hotel has pledged to address its policies on LGBTQ+ safety and donated to an organization supporting the community, amid broader tensions between Trump’s executive orders restricting gender expression and LGBTQ+ advocacy efforts nationwide.
