What is our society coming to that it is even necessary to have this discussion?

Why is that we cannot respond with respect and human decency when asked to allow the use of our 'non-public' restroom facilities?

The office where I work does not have a public restroom, but we have often allowed access for pregnant ladies, small children, the elderly, etc.

Not because of any special law or even a documented medical condition....simply because they had a need, they asked, and we accommodated. How hard was that?

Establishments that do not have public restroom facilities are not targets that the scourges of society will swoop down upon solely for the purpose of soiling their facilities!

The only people that will go so far as to ask to use an obviously 'non-public' restroom are the people whose need to use it overrides the indignity required to ask to use it.

I do not suffer from any of the debilitating conditions that have been discussed on this forum, however, I do know people that are living with these types of illnesses. Prior to this discussion, it never even occurred to me that this problem existed.

It is a sad day for humanity when there are those among us that sit so mightily on their throne that they cannot graciously allow someone in need to use it.
