Glad no restroom police

On April 17, my wife and several other women were of necessity forced to commandeer one of the men’s restrooms at the Lexington Opera House. I was so thankful that our enlightened lawmakers in Frankfort have not had time to pass any statutes regarding the use of toilet facilities based on gender. I can’t imagine the shame to her family and mine of having to bail my retired professor emerita out of the Lexington Correctional Facility for misuse of public toilets.
