So the University I go to (that is in the Bible Belt sadly) recently added these signs to a handful of restrooms. Given some of the comments I saw on the post, I would like to see what people here think. My favourite to laugh at: [quote]If we're going to start being "inclusive" and "diverse" then lets not be so narrow-minded on other things... like campus-carry for folks with a carry permit and over 21. But, that's not going to happen. Only things pushed by the left seem to go anywhere around here.[/quote] Others against: [quote]Absolutely astonishing - I've never seen a sign like this anywhere and why Murray State allowed such a small minority opinion to achieve this I'll never understand. Why is it that no one cares that many of us are equally (perhaps more so) offended by seeing such things as this kind of person claims to be by not having them??[/quote] Because being a bigot is more important.... [quote]Im all for making everyone happy and including everyone... But couldn't that money have gone to, oh, i don't know, sidewalks that DON'T turn into friggin oveans once it rains? Just a thought.[/quote] While I would love decent sidewalks... how does that even matter with the cost of a sign? [quote]I'm appalled. Just because you want to PUSH your agenda on us does NOT mean you should. How about we label those single-toilet restrooms... oh, I don't know... RESTROOMS? Leave it at that? This has gone too far.[/quote] [quote] I agree never seen a sign like this before. Unisex covers men & women and that should be all that is needed. [/quote] Seriously? Comments in support: [quote]Proud of my alma mater for taking a controversial stand towards inclusion in a very exclusive area of the country. If you're offended by the equal treatment of others, then perhaps it might serve you well to evaluate your moral compass.[/quote] [quote]Hooray for inclusion! Good job [/quote] [quote]You're offended that people have a bathroom on campus they can feel comfortable and safe using, without having to worry about being judged?[/quote] I’m in the middle of protein purifications... so it’s up to you to keep this alive. Stay classy. UPDATE: The University has further elaborated on the changes: [quote]Over the summer, MSU has relabeled and added door locks to some of the restrooms on campus to make MSU more inclusive, in response to a resolution passed by SGA last fall. (The restrooms being relabled are only some of the ones with only one stall/toilet, so no new restrooms were constructed and some are even keeping the "family restroom" label.) We hope this helps students feel more comfortable on their own campus. This is an example of the sign displayed on the restrooms outside of the SGA offices.[/quote] [u][b]EDIT[/b][/u] My first hot topic! Only took 6 years... If only Bungie.old was still here and hot topics mattered.
