DERRY TOWNSHIP, Dauphin County, Pa. —Hersheypark officials released a statement Friday saying guests at the park may use the restrooms with which they gender-identify.
According to Hersheypark Public Relations Manager Kathy Burrows, transgender guests visiting the theme park may use the bathroom that matches their gender identity, or a family restroom if they wish.
Burrows released the following statement regarding this issue:
“Every year, the employees of Hershey Entertainment & Resorts (HE&R) welcome over 6 million guests from down the street and around the world. We recognize that the more perspectives we have within our company, the more welcoming we are to all those who visit and seek employment here. In fact, our company has four core values, one of which is “respectful of others,” which we define as treating all people with dignity, while respecting their differences and ideas.
For decades, Hersheypark has been dedicated to the safety and security of our guest and employees. It is foundational to our brand. Additionally, the Park has and will always strive to accommodate all guests and employees – including members of the LGBT community – to ensure those visiting or working at Hersheypark are comfortable and feel secure. To that end, the Park will continue its practice of treating all guests and employees the same no matter race, ethnicity, sexual identity, etc. Guests and employees may continue to use the restrooms with which they gender-identify, or are welcome to use the many family restrooms available across the destination.

Hershey park……..
Hmmmmm……
I’m not if I’d want to go jogging at night around there.
Even if I was gay.
Almost all of their production left the US and got sent to mexico so it’s clear as to where their allegiances are held. It ain’t US.
The hershey highway always had a different meaning anyway, so their guests will feel even more at home now.
I think the bathroom issue is one way to determine who the hard-core communists are in the business world, and you should be boycotting every one of them.
Freak rooms instead of bath rooms? No thanks…. I’ll spend my money elsewhere.
Guess they didn’t see that Target’s stock value has last 10 Billion in last few weeks because of this policy.
On a side note did anyone place any ‘Put-Options’ on Target stock just prior to the Transbathroom policy change? ( just like Airlines on night before 9-11 )
“Guests and employees may continue to use the restrooms with which they gender-identify,… at their own risk.”
Perversion-abetting abounds.
