People Freak Over Restaurant’s ‘Don’t Use The Wrong One’ Bathroom Sign
LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST: By Amber Randall Oklahoma City transgenders expressed concern over a restaurant hanging a “don’t use the wrong one” sign on their bathrooms recently. Steak and Catfish Barn has had the sign up outside its bathroom for the past ten months, reports KFOR . The sign informs patrons that there is no specific bathroom for transgender people. “We do not have a transgender bathroom. So don’t be caught in the wrong one. Thank you, Bob,” the sign reads. A gay organization claimed the sign was a “threat of violence” against the transgender community. “You’ve got this sign implying a threat of potential violence against somebody for going to pee. That’s not the Oklahoma standard. That’s not what it means to be American. That’s just wrong,” said Troy Stevenson , a member of Freedom Oklahoma. Paula Schonauer , a transgender woman, also claimed the sign was a threat and “disturbed” her. Yelp reviewers called the owner a “bigot” for his sign and gave his restaurant one star. “Congratulations you have now entered the world of bigotry and there is a cure for it,” one Yelp reviewer wrote . The restaurant’s owner, Bob Warner , explained that he put the sign up to try and protect all of his customers. “We have a lot of redneck guys that come in here. Truck drivers and everything. They’re big husky guys and I said ‘man alive!’ If their wife or their little girl walked in that bathroom and a man followed them in there, I wouldn’t have a restaurant,” Warner said .
