    Fucking weird that someone would even feel the need to put the left one in their shop window 😳

      I went to a Cracker Barrel a few years ago and they has a sign that read “Proudly serving people of color since 1973” or whatever year it had. Weird brag

      It’s to counter the racism, biggotry, and xenophobia present in pockets of American culture.

      These shitty types of people avoid or hide within large cities - everyone is typically fine in these places. But small towns can sometimes have a serious problem with this if they are too “red” (Conservative).

      In short, pockets of America are very tribal. People bond over similarities, and their shared disapproval of anything different, or out of the ordinary.

    So where you come from, you welcome no races, no religions, no countries of origin, no sexual orientations, no genders; you don’t stand with them and they’re not safe, and the restrooms are a complete free for all?

      Everyone can use toilet. Nobody can use shop

      You know OP is not a conservative? Liberal in this meme is not in opposition with conservative

      hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here

      to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.

      if you’re desperate to use a bathroom, and you can’t afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders’ register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.

      claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.

    We have other problems to fix before we can safely bring back free public restrooms.

      I disagree. In my experience having a lack of restrooms just makes the place nasty and hostile. You can still visit places with plenty of public restrooms, and it’s so much nicer. Every light rail station in Seattle smells like a toilet, the ones in Vancouver are way nicer. Removing restrooms doesn’t remove the need to pee.

        People (and pets) pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.

          Some people don’t clean their ass after they shit, should we not make toilet paper or bidet’s available for the rest of us?

            What? That’s just not a good comparison.

            People don’t shoot up fentanyl in a roll of toilet paper.

              Your response is a symptom of a much larger problem you have, misinformation and fear. You’ve presented a weird MSM scenario where everyone is a druggy. You’ve been disconnected from reality and have lost your way from being “stoic”.

              People shoot up drugs on the street, too. Should we just get rid of public streets while we’re at it?

              Personally, I would rather have drug users go to a more private spot(like a public bathroom stall), than on the street in broad daylight, to use their drugs.
