AFL fans are divided by gender fluid toilets introduced by Etihad Stadium for spectators during the annual Pride Game between St Kilda and Sydney.

Three toilet blocks throughout the stadium were designated for all gender use, with signs posted around the ground and advertisements on the big screen letting patrons know that they can use whichever bathroom they identified with.

The signs read, “Gender diversity is welcome here. Please use the restroom that best fits your gender identity or expression.”

Both Sydney and St Kilda have been applauded for their support of the LGBTQ community but there were a few commentators who warned the move to replace traditional toilets could be risky.

The move was part of the AFL’s annual Pride Game, with the Swans wearing rainbow coloured socks in support, while the Saints wore rainbow coloured numbers on the back of their jerseys.

The Swans and the Saints also had messages of support on the banners they ran through at beginning of the match.
