LGBTQ students march against Clemson University removing tampons from men's bathrooms, demand 'repercussions' against Republican group

LGBTQ students recently held a march to protest Clemson University removing tampons from the men's bathrooms on the campus in South Carolina. The students also demanded that the school's Republican club suffer repercussions for opposing feminine hygiene products in men's bathrooms on campus.

Approximately 50 Clemson students marched on Wednesday to demand special protections for "transgender, gender non-conforming students, and the wider LGBTQIA+ community."

The students carried signs that read: "Gay Liberation," "Trans Revolution," and "Love Is A Human Right." The signs had symbols for anarchy and LGBTQ rainbow-colored hammer and sickle symbols of communism.

The LGBTQ activists were also marching to demand that the university reinstate tampons in men's bathrooms on campus.

"Today, we are marching for the reinstatement of the menstrual products in the men’s restrooms in Cooper Library and throughout campus," said Pan Tankersley – the main student organizer of the event.

Tankersley added, "Students are still not safe on campus. They still experience harassment, hate and all of those things. If anything, the university needs to step up and needs to protect its students."

The LGBT activists also demanded that the Clemson College Republicans group face "repercussions" for opposing the tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms.

The official Take Back Pride Instagram account – which has the pronouns "They/Them" despite being a social media account – claimed Clemson College Republicans are "contributing to a campus climate that encourages transphobic rhetoric and jeopardizes the safety of LGBTQIA+ students."
