Why This Mom Cried Over The Bathroom Sign In A Pizza Place

A sign posted in the bathroom of a pizza place in Charlotte, North Carolina has gone all sorts of viral on the internet this week. The owner posted a sign that reminded and encouraged people to be their best and kind to others. Five months ago, Juli Ghazi, the owner put up the sign that say the bathroom  is available for single fathers with daughters, single mothers with sons, people in the LGBTQ community and adults with aging parents who may have disabilities.

Larken Egleston posted the picture on Facebook,

The attitude Pure Pizza’s bathroom policy exhibits is the epitome of the neighborhood that I, and Pure Pizza, reside in,” Egleston told The Mighty via Facebook message. “Plaza Midwood is one of the most inclusive and diverse parts of Charlotte, and those of us that moved here did so knowing and embracing that dynamic. While there will inevitably be those that disagree with Pure Pizza’s policy, it serves as a reminder to those of us who live here why we love Plaza Midwood and why we love Pure Pizza and its owner, Juli.”

Also, Yahoo reports how one woman broke down seeing the sign. The out pour of support has been over-the-top. "Ghazi said about a month ago a mom who has a disabled teenage son came in for lunch and teared up when she saw the note on the bathroom. She explained to Ghazi that because the teen has reached puberty, the mother doesn’t feel comfortable taking him into women’s restrooms".
